Just Good Things: April 24, 2026

I thought, after our week in Florida, I would come back to a city with no more spring blooms. I'm happy to report that I was incorrect. The irises and dogwoods are out, people are planting around their homes, and the phlox are spilling out everywhere. It's lovely.

Here's what else made me happy this week:

• Easy travel back home
• Chatting with my daughter's school librarian while I volunteered
• Couch rotting a bit in the morning
• Getting back into my exercise routine
• A few students specifically sought me out for help
• Making some blackout poems (I liked one so much I added it to my bullet journal)
• Kiddo's joy at her new baking class
• Chatting with another school mom while walking our kiddo's home
• Walking around our condo barefoot
