Yes! Especially around the holidays.

Today:

  1. Pinterest (for helping me look at pantry staples and random ingredients and pull together breakfast)

  2. Not being at work

  3. A lazy chilly morning with my senior pups

  4. Upcoming New Year’s Shows to look forward to!

  5. Being SOBER.

@JackStraw any reason that you’re writing “so far…still sober”? Or just the general “we can only look at today on any day kind of mindset”?

Oh ok awesome me too! Though my first show was Camden 2001❤️
Whenever you post I’m like “hey it’s my Wichita Buddy checking in with the gratitude”, but I wasn’t sure if you ventured over into the Phish…so many people have such staunch dividing lines in their jam scene!
Happy that we’re here sober today :o::zap: :raised_hands:t2:
