Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Hello lovely people.
Even though I’m on the south side of the building, the sun seems to reflect off a neighbour’s window or something, and shines in my window through a whole lot of leaves, making a really nice pattern on the wall.
Sorry, I know I’m the living embodiment of those “get better work stories” ads, but I’m trying to be part of things anyway!
It’s easy to forget the little things sometimes. As we get older daily life feels more and more routine, I even feel like I’m on autopilot some days.
I need to stop and enjoy the little things a bit more I think :)
You’re right about it as we get older. I’ve noticed the same thing.
I mean I notice cool stuff like sunlight or the butterflies because those are like events, but sometimes I will be sitting there with my toothbrush in my hand and no memory of if I have just brushed my teeth or not! I don’t want to zone out so much.
Noticing the little things is an important part of living you best life 🙂
Very true!
There’s a book called “The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating” which is by someone in a really bad way and that was like, the highlight of her day, hearing this snail chow down on a houseplant next to her bed. I try to always remember that.
I don’t usually think of snails as making noise. Must have been a really quiet room!
Have you read the book? Is it good?
Only excerpts, but they were great! I should actually try and find it again. At the time it was recommended to me I couldn’t read very much, but I could read it now.
I’ve added it to my list to read (someday). My list is growing very long because I’ve been doing a terrible job of reading lately, but I will eventually read it 🙂
Cool!
