Thursday, 27th June 2024, was a day of small but meaningful changes for Luke Hand. Imagine waking up in a bed that's not quite where it should be – that's exactly how Luke started his day after resigning from his job.

This little shift reminded him of a time in 2004 when he and a friend made similar changes just to keep life interesting. These moments of novelty are what Luke cherishes to keep his days fresh and engaging. After enjoying a coffee in town, Luke treated himself to one of Jude's delicious baguettes – a simple pleasure that made his gratitude list for the day.
His afternoon was spent at the library's sound studio, attempting to record a reading for his podcast, though he didn't quite finish it.

Luke rated his mood at a 6 and his energy at 6.5 out of 10, reflecting a day that was calm and steady.
His reflections on making small changes and finding joy in simple things like a good baguette or a quiet walk are relatable and heartwarming.
