a friend told me about two sweet rituals i thought i'd share w u all:

• every day, go out or open the window where u live, and hang out there for a bit until you hear/see a bird. maybe some days u only hear them, or u end up seeing a squirrel or smth. the idea is that if you bring yourself to be present in a place u think u know well, unexpected things will happen!
• take more things spontaneously and sometimes arbitrarily to be good omens (see a cool cloud = good omen, leaf fell near u = good omen). this is a practice to both resist the tendency to fixate on things being bad omens (tripping, messin up at work over small things) and shift the idea that the environment is working against u, rather for u

People are always complaining about how #TheJetsons promised flying cars, but at this point, I'd settle for the bed that helps you stand up in the morning.

The bed, now without covers, has tilted up nearly vertically, and George is about to slide down into a standing position on the conveyor belt that will bring him to the bathroom.
