an index of the gratitudes and little comforts one can find, if only they were to look.

— january.

• i am grateful for little worlds (books, video games, writing) that transport me to 'elsewheres' and allow me, even if only briefly, to become someone else entirely.
• i am grateful for crisp morning drives with the pup for gingerbread chais.
• i am grateful for long walks in the chill to disconnect from socials and technology and merely feel whatever greets me there.
