A very relatable piece. As a musician I’m enjoying this Mardi Gras season. Four gigs in the past four days. If I was doing this all year though, I’d be drained.
Yours is the first explanation of Daylight Saving vs (for me) Eastern Standard that I agree with - a delineation of seasons and time. Maybe I won’t be too grouchy next weekend when my semi annual “jet lag “ hits.
Great piece, Catherine! Your advice feels like a way of cultivating gratitude by being aware of the different seasons and moments of life. You appreciate things more when you don’t take them for granted :)
Hedonic adaptation. Avoid at all costs.
What a lovely riff.
Love this concept, and I deeply relate :)

Exactly! Have fun at Black-Eyed Sally’s tonight!

Thank you for understanding the message in my piece! Grateful people are probably happier, don't you think?
They certainly are! I have a piece on gratitude that I am working on. Thanks also for subscribing to my Substack. I’m glad we reconnected :)
Love this one so much. It's so true that excess of one thing can lead to a lack of appreciation.
Thank you! But it's hard when you're spooning down chocolate pudding to refuse seconds! Seconds may not taste AS good, but they're still good!
