Dear X, Greg, Chloe, Chris and Stephanie,


Hi. I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine was alright - a bit of work (yuck!), a bit of running and a bit of relaxing. Not too bad all in all. :)

I've realised that the thing that holds me back from writing more often is that I don't have the energy for regular long letters. As you've no doubt noted, I ramble. So this letter will be short and sweet. :) The inspiration for this letter was my recent purchase of Jeffrey Brown's latest book Little Things.

As with all of Jeffrey's books, I enjoy Little Things for it's humour and sensitivity. It also features Jeffrey's musical discoveries too which I am really enjoying. I loved reading how he discovered Andrew Bird's music and how it formed the soundtrack of a particular part of his life. I tend to look back on music in a similar way - songs become important parts of the way I remember periods in my life. For example, Iron and Wine's Our Endless Numbered Days will always remind me of starting a new life post-Big Ex and filling it with good people like Chris. I think he was even the person who told me about Iron and Wine.. :)

I'm off to bed to read and reminisce a bit more.

Take care of yourselves.

Stephanie
