I’m in the middle of a gloriously creative work week, wrapping up the third big project in a row, burning the midnight oil tonight. I’m grateful that I have had the energy and inspiration to work this hard and enjoy the work, take breaks, and surf the contentment wave that continues to buoy me. I’m grateful for the fresh grapefruit juice I squeezed for a special salty dog cocktail this evening when I took a break for a zoom with a dear friend in Florida. I savored it all the more for being mindful of the reasons it was such a special drink: 1) the grapefruit came from a tree in the yard of the very friend I was zooming with, 2) my new favorite glass was a birthday gift from Amy, 3) I mixed flaky sea salt with raw sugar to rim the glass, and 4) all the elements of this one simple cocktail added together became so much more than the sum of their parts. Now, back to work.
