I’m a huge fan of this post. Your humor and digressions are so fun! This was a hard reality I had to shit within the last two years… my most intense one “if I just have another baby, all the pain from infertility, miscarriages, and having my first baby die, will go away!” Obviously it did not 🙄🫠🙃
I feel you, Taylor! We place a lot of pressure on "things" and "achievements" to cure us and it hurts to realize they don't. I'm sorry to hear about your challenges but hoping you're working through everything life throws at you as best you can. You got this 💪
Someone I work with has an amazing email signature. It says, "Goals without Action, are just Dreams".
Your post felt like the explanation for that statement and I loved every moment of it. TY TY. I need to be better about my AM Routine! I used think I was part of the 5am club. 2024 has demoted me to the 8am posse. It's time to change that and get back into waking before the world to read & write!
Wise words, as always Alex. Although you're wrong about one thing, Bounty isn't the worst addition to an assorted box of chocs. That would have to be Mars. But that's another discussion.
Imagine how much happier that dog was after accomplishing such relief on the Easter Lawn. And you documented it. 💩 makes everyone happier, no lies told. Hallelujah, I don’t have to do anything else for the rest of my life because I can count on that to overflow my joy daily. 🥹
Absolutely stellar writing, as always. I am certainly guilty of hyper fixating on the finish line and completely SUCK at living in the moment. I have a hard time “enjoying the process” and I blame that on being a part of the Generation of Instant Gratification. The arrival fallacy is A THING MAN! Also, I had NO IDEA where that title was going to take me but I’m glad it took me where it did. Shitting dog and all.
I'm Captain Instant Gratification - I'll cancel the microwave with 10 seconds left because I can't deal with waiting for my food. I need it all now!!! 😂

I should unfollow you for dissing on Bounty- it's one of my favorite bars.
This is a win-win, David. The less Bounty I eat, the more you get! 🥥🥥🥥
And the horse turns his head and says:
Are you taking to me?

I speak on behalf of the world in saying we all want more (a lot more!) of your writing so this is a plan of attack I can absolutely get behind 🤩
Good joke!
Which one?!
LOL. All of them, Alex. Every last one.

Mars is close to the best one!!!
That's it, where and when should we fight?
Under the bridge. At dawn. Bring peashooters. No wait, I have Pilates. Might have to reschedule.
I wouldn't want you to perish without being at your most flexible. We'll raincheck it.
*nods sagely* Probably best.
The small steps, the small things that COULD lead to a possible trip to Hawaii sometime this summer. . .
You're cooking up a Hawaii adventure? Exciting!!!
Still need to make plans, but yeah, I'm looking into it!
You’re a good writer! And congrats on beating Leukemia!
That's so nice of you to say, Pam! Thank you :D

You've got a unique perspective on the world and DAMN IT it's refreshing as hell. I'll channel the joy of that dog today and I've got you to thank.
