Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Noticing the little things is an important part of living you best life 🙂

Very true!

There's a book called "The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating" which is by someone in a really bad way and that was like, the highlight of her day, hearing this snail chow down on a houseplant next to her bed. I try to always remember that.

I don't usually think of snails as making noise. Must have been a really quiet room!

Have you read the book? Is it good?

Only excerpts, but they were great! I should actually try and find it again. At the time it was recommended to me I couldn't read very much, but I could read it now.

I've added it to my list to read (someday). My list is growing very long because I've been doing a terrible job of reading lately, but I will eventually read it 🙂
