ately, my heart has been brimming with an overwhelming sense of joy. It all started when I received an unexpected call from an old friend I hadn't spoken to in years. We reminisced about the good old days, sharing laughter and stories that brought back a flood of warm memories. This simple interaction lifted my spirits so high that I've been carrying this positive energy throughout the week. I find myself humming tunes randomly and smiling at strangers on the street. Even the gloomy weather outside can't dampen my mood.

Tonight’s kitchen adventure: sourdough pizza from scratch! 🍕 I started by stretching my week-old starter into a bubbly dough, letting it rise for 4 hours while I prepped toppings—roasted cherry tomatoes, caramelized onions, and fresh basil.
