There is this candle.

…that I bought in Kansas City. I went to a lot of trouble to buy it. There is something particular about it.

I have it with me right now in my Lima apartment. it seems so intensely delicious and somehow personally real. It is sitting on the table next to me as I write this and I can smell it from across the room.

There are things like this in the every day which just make a micromoment so much better. It is really easy to forget, but this one specific object keeps asking for my attention. Yes, you decided to get this. it is still so lovely and smells so good. Then about 3 minutes later, I smell it again. I am not sure why my brain has this tendency to zone out about objects that bring me comfort, but I am grateful to be reminded and then reminded again.
