For today, I give you this highly-personalized, certainly particular list of #ThingsIKnowForSure:

• Creativity is what’s important, not how or why or when you do it.
• I eat less when I can taste more.
• My garden deserves better.
• Summer is a montage of awkwardly-placed mosquito bites. Still worth it.
• The world needs a better brand of catnip.
• Sometimes figuring things out is a matter of a good book and a long afternoon. If that doesn’t work, try a walk. Or a stiff drink.
• That thing you don’t want to do is probably exactly what you should do (sorry!)
• Sometimes a day just needs a thunderstorm.
• Tonic and lemonade are good together. Also gin.
• Some days there are just too many choices.
• Touch ID hates me.
• Sometimes you actually do need that ancient laptop you stashed in the closet.
• A good book makes any day better.
• I’m pretty much done letting other people define what’s “good” 🙂
• Star Wars is the best movie ever (#1, now renamed #4 like a child whose parents changed their mind when she was ten years old. Who does that?)
• Lord of the Rings is the best book ever. Even though I don’t read it every year (anymore), the effect it had on my life means that it will remain The Best Book Ever for always and ever and ever.
• Kittens are hard to catch.
