what's my five-year plan, prospective employer? ooh I'm so glad you asked. - know my neighborhood well enough to help in a yard sale, throw a block party, or be invited over for a birthday - plant a lilac bush and celebrate its growth inch by inch - master my mother's red velvet cake recipe - cheer on my friends in their private and public joys - open the windows to smell each season as it arrives - spend several snow days finishing a puzzle - kiss each new white hair I find in my partner's beard - leap into a body of water via rope or tire swing
