Ten.One Thousand, Nine Hundred & Ninety-Eight

  1. Dark and cold.

  2. I keep forgetting about the pot of boiling water.

  3. We probably shouldn’t know this yet.

  4. Letting go of expectations.

  5. I keep placing the carnelian in my hand, pressing it close to my palm.

  6. Salad and water and honest conversations in the quiet light of my office.

  7. Gratitudes.

  8. “For centuries, the triangle has symbolized leadership.” “You are an overseer, an expediter, a leader, a person of action.” “Your positive traits: leadership, decisiveness, ambition, focused, results-driven, self-motivated.” “Potential pitfalls: impatience, aggressiveness, self-centeredness.”

  9. Baseball in the rain.

  10. Convincing myself that tomorrow will be a fun day even if it will be a long day. It will be fun. It will. It will end with margaritas, after all.
