I believe I have a happy life.

I don’t own much - lots of books, piano, keyboard, a mattress, a couch, things to cook with, and only the food I need.

I appropriately struggle with myself and other humans. I’m not perfect, I deal with people who aren’t perfect, and I never stop finding occasions to learn from others and myself.

For the balance of the year, I’ve maintained a belief that “life is absurd… so why take it too seriously.” I laugh off things a bit easier.

I am thankful for the life I have. For all the goods and the bads, it’s mine… for the time that I have it.
