This week, the weather was beautiful, and I couldn’t help but be grateful. It’s the most cliché thing in the world, but the sun puts a smile on your face. I sat on my balcony and basked, and I wrote down what exactly I was grateful for in as much detail as I could feel. I think it changed my life. Here is what I’m grateful for this week:

Often, I find myself awestruck by human creativity. The human race is capable of a lot of things -- some beautiful and some horrific. This week, I caught a glimpse of the good side.

Sitting on my dresser there is a small, yellow woven box. I can’t remember when I got it, but I know I have had it for a long time. The contents of the box are a little frightening. Every rectangular slip of paper from every fortune cookie I’ve eaten — since I can remember, at least — resides in the yellow box. Fate resides in the yellow box. Superstition resides in my head.

In a past life, many years ago, I was a ballerina. My instructor was a lean, muscular, cigarette-toting Russian man. He was fabulous. He used to call me “cool one,” because I showed up in sunglasses to each rehearsal.

Early one afternoon, the post-elementary school sleepy lull had all but overtaken me. I sat at the kitchen table with my head in my arm, bordering somewhere between dreaming and being awake.

A week ago, I was asked to share a “hot take” that I stand by. An unsavory opinion I hold dear to my heart. "I still like eating ice cream in the winter,” I said. It was vulnerable, but safe enough to get some nods of agreement, I thought.

It was 2:30 a.m. on a nice enough night, but there were not enough stars in the sky. Or maybe I didn’t try hard enough to look for Orion and the Big Dipper. It was a hot August in humid southern Indiana. Even at night the air was heavy and enveloping. There’s no retreat from the swelter of a small town, only a swift, silent exit in the dead of night.
