Nothing teaches you to be appreciative quite like having your air conditioning break right in the middle of summer. Mine is back on after ten days without and I am feeling blessed. It’s been a hot and sticky week, most of my friends and family are out of town, and I’m looking forward to a quiet weekend ahead. Books, blankets, cats, and writing time. Whatever you’re up to, I hope it’s great! Xo
