I think there's something to be said about being singular [la /le], being alone, being so alone that you notice that a leaf is falling in your loneliness. How alone you'd have to be to notice a falling leaf.

MUFFIN TIME

 One of the simple pleasures I've experienced today was baking my sweet- potato- chocolate- chip muffins this afternoon and sitting on the hardwood floor and feeling the warmth of the oven while the smell of the muffins reached my nose as I closed my eyes and listened to a Elton John song through my headphones. 

Puppy interviews

I've been watching Buzzfeed: Puppy Interviews (Florence Pugh & Chris Evans) and it's brilliant. Answering questions about your life while playing with puppies?? Yes, please!!! Where can I sign up?! How do I get on??? (Seriously, though, how? If I have to wait to be famous or recognized, it's gonna be awhile). I dunno what it is, but I LOVE answering questions about myself. I think it's because I feel like the person asking me the questions is getting to know me better. Come to think of it, I've always loved getting in a circle in class during the first day and answering questions and talking. It's what makes me love the first day of school so much. (that, and new classes and hallways). thanks for reading my thoughts! 😊💭

THE HEART❤

heart (n): a hollow muscular organ that pumps the blood through a circulatory system by rhythmic contraction and dilation; the center of total personality, especially with reference to intuition, feeling, or emotion; the central, innermost or vital part of something.

"The heart is not just a pump but also an organ of great intelligence, with its own nervous system, decision-making powers, and connects with the brain. They (scientists) found that the heart actually talks to the brain, communicating with it in ways that affect how we perceive and react to the world."
