Days Like This

Dear Friends,

These recent days have been so wonderful. I am so grateful to have days like these.

I am going to just list some of the fulfilling things I experienced: Stand-up Paddleboarding two Fridays in a row; dinner with our kind neighbors; coffeeshop reading and writing sessions; runs in the sun; celebrating my late dad’s birthday and St. Patrick’s Day with family; new issues of my favorite food magazines arriving; the speller salon study group that Tara and a friend are facilitating; hiking with my mom and Riko; swimming in my neighbors’ pool with their dog; doing reading for the salon with my mom on the deck; and writing a lot of poetry and recording All Our Brave Hearts episodes.

This is possible due to my regulation being steady lately and my family.

I know good times like these are temporary. But I also know they return.

I feel so calm and happy and also very confident that I can have a fulfilling life. I hope to help make this sensation possible for more of my peers. A world where we can have beautiful lives is possible if people learn to choose to care about us. That is my belief.

Your Friend,

Danny
