You know, we have house projects and I want to do house projects.

You know, I guess other people want to go hikes in Switzerland.

I want to paint the closet doors.

But mostly it's because I've learned in these last two years how much

how much of the richness and the joy and the awe of this life is in such simple, simple things.

Like I got your email and I just was running around the house saying, Meg, I love people.

I love people.

I love people.

And then I was like, what am I going to do without people?

One of the other things that happened right after my diagnosis a few days ago was

was I noticed I was hanging my head for the first time in two years.

And I said to Meg, I'm like, do you notice I'm hanging my head?

And she said, yeah.

And I said, it's because I don't want to look up at everything I love.

I was afraid to love.

I was afraid to love as much as I love right now because I've never in my life loved this much.

And it's, I'm so aware of how much courage it's taking in me.

to look up and to love and to acknowledge how much there is to love.

And Meg, oh my God, I'm bombarding her with, I love you, I love you, I love you, you're a dreamboat, you're a dreamboat.

And then also we'll just be going on or doing something normal.
