Satisfaction
Over the past week, I have brought into my home copies of the New York Times, the Columbian, the Wall Street Journal and the Oregonian. There is paper everywhere now, and I have to round it up because tomorrow is recycling day.
There is something deeply satisfying about breaking away from the screens and the noise and reading a newspaper. Newspapers make me marvel about the language, teach me about my community, introduce me to history and art and the world, and reveal to me new ways of seeing. Getting ink on my fingers in a quiet bed is infinitely more satisfying than reading the same thing online.
Other things I revel in: cats, conferences, peanut butter, music, Ben, Vita Cafe, full-bodied coffee, sunshine and exercise on the first day of spring.
