Tuesday through Friday I was in New York, so a very large portion of my week was spent in a place that I actually plan to cover in a future post. So this week, I’m going to focus on very small things that brought my happiness.

One amazing thing is that I got to see Richard after a whole week of being away. He was actually on a trip the same time I was, which is great timing, but it was still really wonderful to meet up again.

And New York was obviously wonderful. I was exhausted in an unprecedented way by the last day of our trip, and even though we did a lot of cool things and had fun, we were all very grateful to come home. New York is filled with a lot of stuff. There’s always something to look at; even adorable baby pups on the subway.
