What would a “perfect” day look like for you?
I'd enjoy a slow morning with my daughter, making French toast and savoring coffee as she plays. We'd then head to a park by the water, visit a brewery for lunch, and return home for a relaxed evening. While I cook my latest obsession, my daughter plays with her dad, surrounded by our favorite music. Later, when everyone sleeps, I immerse myself in painting. Simple joys.
