Those "simple delights" are the best! What a great idea to make s'mores over the stove. While it's a rare occurence, our s'more-making typically happens in our fire pit. But I remember as a kid, sometimes we'd make them in the toaster oven. You got my wheels turning, Kara. Uh-oh!
Recently, at my encouragement, my husband bought a new robe. We were shopping for shirts he needed and I spotted this VERY soft robe. I made him try it on and he loved it. So my new favorite delight is hugging him when he's wearing it. I always enjoy hugging him, but now he's extra soft when wearing that robe. I giggle every time and don't want to let go.
Love all of this, but your PS really resonated for me: "I’ve been cooking up a big project, and realizing my daily writer brain is finite." My recent realization is that my brain can only cope with a finite number of projects, regardless of how much time they need.
Kara,
Bellissimo post!
Love your POV!
Yes,
our writer-brains need to breathe, and rest.
Our brains never stop.
Equally as active in sleep and daytime,
our brains use more calories than any other organ in the body!
Rest.
Rejuvenate.
Re-store.
Re-generate!
I can't wait to hear about your new project!
Gratitude and admiration,
Susan
