Gratituesday 6.25.24 - I’m Melting!

Holy cow, it’s hot! I feel like I’m melting. I spent the last 9 days in the Pacific Northwest and I came back to a New York heatwave. I did get email about it from Con Edison, but honestly I really didn’t pay attention. However when they opened the back doors on the airplane at Newark, I was like, whoa! I did splurge on ice cream a few times on my trip, but I have tried not to have sugary desserts in my apartment. However on my walk home, I almost stopped for ices and ice cream. I guess there’s something so comforting about a frozen treat in the summer. And friends, that’s where we are. With the heat, I have wanted to complain. However, I need to consider the good. So hello, weekly lists! Want to consider your gratitudes, celebrations and desires? Fantastic, me too! I’ll start. The comment section is always open to share your own. Let’s go!
