Abundant blessings to you….and may your cup run over with great coffee, and good books 📚 find you feeding your soul forever in true bliss. You deserve happiness. I appreciate you!

I love the full circle moment of can't afford books to people sending you free ones, whether it's because they love you or because they respect your opinion and want your endorsement (or both). (Also: I look forward to that story for a different day...)

Beautifully put. "I'm not rationing my happiness anymore". A word I recieved for this year was "live in the goodness" it doesn't mean painful things won't happen, it means to truly live and be present in the good and joy of life. I really love that you mentioned what some might consider "the little things" a beautiful day, a well lit candle. At times those are the things that carry me through, that help me to keep going, to be filled with gratitude for life. Indeed! Live in the goodness. Live in your happiness. Don't ration it away. A great reminder! 🦋🌱🙏🏾

“I grew up rationing my happiness.” That resonates in a specific place in my soul that I need to listen to. How/where/why am I “rationing my happiness” now? Lovely post, Robert.

Robert, this post was a kiss to the insides. Sundays are precious for me too and you showing up this way is like a deep sigh and a reason to keep the simple things in cycle. You absolutely deserve all the happiness.

Really feeling this one. And I am truly so happy for you Rob. I know what it costs to gain this kind of happy. Whew. What a blessing you are to me: a random internet stranger that has been moved by your words since day one on Twitter. I hope you never stop sharing.🫶
