Episode 129: You’re a Human Disco Ball on the Dance Floor

 

A jacket covered with sequins, driving too fast around the city, smelling spices, getting cat pics from a friend, whale watching -- so many reasons to fall in love with the world around us.


A jacket with colorful sequins all over it -- you’re a human disco ball for a few hours of the night.

Seeing all the pumpkins piled outside stores, fall coming in strong.

The road of Los Angeles at 7am on Sunday morning, driving as fast as you can around an empty city.

A silk scarf, tied loosely around your hair.

When your friend sends you a song they wrote and it’s absolutely stunning.

Seeing a pod of whales on a whale watching trip, how positively enormous they are.

When everyone else finally gets obsessed with the same TV shows you’ve been obsessed with for ages.

Dancing so hard your hair gets plastered to your forehead with sweat.

Watching an older couple giggling together at lunch, talking and laughing.

Making a better choice for your future, even if it feels hard in the present moment.

When a friend texts you a cute picture of their cats.

Reading a text from the person you love as soon as you wake up.

Going to the gym with a friend to walk and talk.

Opening every window in the house to let the air in.

Picking out spices at the store, smelling them and dreaming of recipes.

A simple gold band as a wedding ring.

French bulldog puppies.

That every day is an opportunity to fall more in love with the world.

Watching an ant walk along the ground, so determined

When someone is generous and patient, giving of their time to help you learn something new.
