Really needed a friendly but determined kick to my brain of SPOT THE NICE THINGS AND ALSO INITIATE THE CONNECTION FOR NICE THINGS! WE CAN'T WAIT FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO BE THE PEOPLE WE WANT TO BE! (I say, *always doing that.*)

On the train today, I scraped my left ankle with my heavy booted-right foot. Then, while walking to work, I stumbled over my three tote bags and fell into the grass—but a woman immediately said, "Come here, baby," and lifted me to my feet. She was so gentle, both in her tone and her touch, and so instinctive: somebody is down, I'm here. I started crying a few blocks later. Then I stumbled again and almost sprained my ankle, so. It's been a Tuesday.
