The art of conversation thrives on the luxury of time, allowing insights and revelations to gracefully unfold. It's about moving beyond surface-level exchanges, or mere cocktail talk, and embracing deeper connections that reveal who someone truly is and what lights them up. Not every exchange leads to lifelong friendship, and that's okay. The goal is to find those rare moments when both parties feel illuminated by the conversation. As we navigate our busy lives, I hope we remain open to embracing the unexpected in our conversations, as they hold the potential for the most rewarding discoveries.

Patience has never come naturally to me, but life has taught me its necessity through unexpected events, like heartbreak and loss. Often feeling like a stranger to myself, I've realized that slowing down and embracing patience allows me to find gratitude in simple pleasures, like a cool breeze or ice cream, leading to a sense of peace. Patience remains a vital lesson, even when timelines are elusive. While I've abandoned the notion of being naturally patient, I celebrate the small victories in patience I achieve, constantly reminding myself that I am progressing. Join me in embracing patience, one step at a time, and celebrate the small successes we encounter along the way. Thank you, patience.

There is even therapeutic value in things like hand-washing dishes and the meticulous process of selecting an outfit. There is satisfaction in clean linens.
