I’m writing on my laptop outside today. I’ve probably never even used my laptop outside, let alone write on it outside. It makes me nervous. My laptop was my first big-girl purchase; it means a lot to me. I’ve always wanted one. Breaking it or damaging it would honestly crush me.

I have a laptop skin and a screen protector. And here I am still nervous as heck because this table is 3 feet away from solid concrete.

Despite that, I'm noticing it is a beautiful day. It’s sunny which is great because it will be snowy all weekend just like it was last week. We’re enjoying the sun. My little sister is chasing my dog and my little brother is “Playing pick-up sticks”.

My siblings teach me to be present.

Life truly is a present.

What a beautiful day on planet Earth.🌎🌿
