getting a new project off to a satisfactory start

being able to share music with open ears

learning to savour even more deeply the new freedom come into my life this year - trying to make the most of it, although what I define as “most” might not meet other folks' standards...

a good dental check-up - this may be the longest I have gone without needing a filling in decades!  knock wood

getting jobs wrapped up early to clear the path for fun sutff!

a stable society to live in

feeling hopeful -- even if I can't really put a finger on why

getting a little positive feedback on some spacecraft designs I roughed out... for me, the visual designs of my world-building are one of the most challenging areas of developing a new comic series, so it feels good to be told I'm on the right track

the good feeling of fresh clothes

The house cooled down enough overnight that I am wearing a track suit - indoors!
