Let me remember the colleague who came to my office because she loves the homey feel. I thought she was grading papers, but she was reading feedback on her dissertation, which was difficult for her. I took it as a supreme compliment that she felt less stress in my office than in other places. Some have criticized my office for being too messy ("like something exploded"), but I like knowing that not everyone feels that way.
Let me also remember driving home during the waning light. As I drove past the tidal North Lake, a pelican swooped and dove, over and over again. It was beautiful. I had no camera to record it, and even if I had, I probably couldn't capture it, because the predominant shades were gray, dark gray, blue, and black. But now I've recorded it with words.
