Ten Things I Can’t Do Without

1. My people (squishing my husband, my outrageous red-headed nephew, and the rest of my friends and family into one space really frees me up for the rest of this list)
2. Water places
3. Movement—Subtle or vigorous. I like the way it feels to be in motion.
4. Rest
5. Making and experiencing art
6. Meditation
7. Curiosity
8. Good books (and the occasional terrible book that reminds me of the difference)
9. Music—I always loved it, and spent several years in a band with a bunch of writers called the Starry Mountain Sweetheart Band
10. A long walk on a cold day
