1. Painting — I’m trying to be more intentional about painting these days. (I recently learned that 15 minutes of art reduces stress!) Here’s my most recent painting:
2. Public Transit — I’m grateful to have the CTA, especially for trips downtown or commuting. I love not paying for parking!
3. The Art Institute of Chicago — I’m learning more and more just how refreshing beauty is. Nature, art, and new places restore my soul. The art institute is a place to take in a lot of beauty at once.
4. Flowers in the house — Speaking of beauty, flowers are a low-price way of keeping beauty before us. Check out Ranunculus because they’re gorgeous and in season!
5. Endless Summer Vacation — Miley’s new album. It’s a masterpiece–a great summer album and perfect to sing to loudly in the car.
6. Welcome Back Lounge — This Chicago spot has been on my list for a while! I’m glad I could finally go over the weekend with friends. It’s retro, casual, and outdoorsy with great food and drinks at a low price.
7. William Hinson — I went to a concert where William recently opened and I was instantly a fan!
8. Shrinking — This is the new TV show I will rave about to anyone who listens. It’s the perfect combination of deep, heartwarming, and laugh-out-loud hilarious. Just really well done.
9. Bagels and cream cheese — We don’t talk about it nearly enough, but a good bagel with cream cheese hits the spot!
10. Therapy — I’m grateful for trained professionals who listen, empathize, and help me process the big and the small. Highly recommend to literally everyone.
