A gentle close to the week

Hold on to your days / Issue 1,177

Oh, hi friends!

What if we didn't treat every day like a given? 

But rather like a one-time gift?

Where would you go, what would you change, who would you help, what kind of small courtesy would you extend? 

Maybe every day, even the most ordinary or rainiest or time-crunched, can feel extraordinary.

Let it.

Seven Things That Made My Week Better

$1 coffee from a street cart gives me such joy.

Stephen Sondheim's townhouse is for sale!!!!! The music studio. Swoon.

"Be wrong, fast." Bill Hader's advice on writing with others. (Thanks Allison McNearney for sending this along.)

Very excited to see Theater Camp next week.

Thinking of your projects in seasons. (I'm working with Mark Armstrong on reigniting his excellent newsletter, which has been a delight!)

Launch the Plane sessions continue to be the highlight of my week.

Finally, this otter steals surfboards. (h/t Marissa Tarbell, the Ultimate Otter News Source)

Hugs to you all, my friends. Have a gentle weekend.
