793. An empty email inbox. (Be encouraged. It is possible!)
794. I finally learned how to make my own salad dressing, one that doesn’t trigger a migraine:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp water
1 tsp brown sugar

a dash of soy sauce

795. Eating salads everyday–I’ve eaten more salad this week than in the last year. Thankful for coming close to being more vegetarian than not.
796. An enjoyable evening around a bonfire, toasting marshmallows and getting to know my neighbors.
797. A lovely lunch with my friend Beth.

799. Sun through leaves
800. Loving Hugh of St Victor’s Didiscalicon, a 12th century text that focuses on the spiritual practice of reading.
801. Speckled robins
