GRATITUDE

Another cloudy chilly day and still I am grateful for a bunch of random things:
  1. Mornings when I wake up (so far, its happened every day of my life). Love the whole possibility of being better than yesterday. Hope you woke up today too!
  2. Yummy food.  Had some tasty sushi foods last night. When one can tempura veggies and make you want more, one is talented indeed.
  3. 2nd chances. Okay, 7th chances.  Sometimes its just needed.
  4. Good coffee, hot chocolate and great tea too.
  5. Growth causing conversations.
  6. Cleverness and resilience (I've been makin a dollar outta fifteen cents for a minute now).
  7. Clarity
  8. My warm soft fuzzy blanket given to me as a gift. One of my favorites...
  9. My Macbook
  10. Music
  11. My friends. (They are AMAZING people and have added so much to my little life.)
  12. Intimacy. 
So, I don't want to be bossy, but maybe you might wanna make a little list of some things that fill you with a sense of gratitude. Maybe it will make your day a bit better....

Life's Wonders

Eating yummy foods is one of my passions in life. Do I feel a little awful because I sometimes fail at balancing enjoying the yummy food and knowing when enough is enough? Occasionally. But not today. Today a little thing like a gulp of orange juice made me so happy, it was something I just had to write about. I poured the orange juice, Tropicana, into one of my favorite drinking glasses, a wine glass. I don’t really love wine, but the glasses are so beautiful that I just drink everything else out them. It makes me happy. I got this set from the dollar store. They really have nice things sometimes. You just gotta go to the big ones. Anyway, the orange juice looked so nice in that clean clear glass, I felt so grown up bringing it to the couch with me. I sipped a little here, it was so crisp and refreshing in my mouth, like someone in the kitchen juiced some oranges for me and put it right in my special wine glass. Of course they had to strain out the pulp, the pulp makes me sad. I s

More happiness thoughts

Lately I haven't been writing about my quest for,,, happiness? Is that my quest? Yeah, it is.  And yesterday I saw a show about happiness and remembered that I do want to be happier everyday!!!  I have found myself getting all caught up in what I am not, what I don't have, how much time I have left to get those things so that I can finally be happy. The ending thought of the show was that happiness can be acquired one day, one moment at a time.  I can do that!  So today, on my Saturday farmer's market, estate sale, garage sale ritual, I practiced happiness in every move. I looked into people eye's on purpose with a smiling heart (people get freaked out about eye to eye contact with a stranger sometimes). I gave a compliment on something small. I did a couple unnecessary nice things for people (okay, just one, but I was only out for an hour). I chatted up a farmer selling the squash, learning how to roast spaghetti squash. I chatted it up with the Lithuanians

I Just Wanna Mop The Floor!!!

Image
I want to mop  the floor.  Really.  I do. I love mopping floors. Looking down at a perfectly sparkling clean floor brings me a Zen-like peace. It sorta tells me that all is well when the floor is clean. Life is better without dust bu nnies haunting and taunting me.    But I haven’t been able to mop the floor. It’s impossible right now. So is cooking a meal, washing my hair, or getting into my car and running over t o the local CVS. Yes, I consider it fun times browsing a fully stocked pharmacy like CVS and Walgreens. Don’t ask me why, it just is.   I cannot do these things because the other morning, while I was minding my usual business of procrastinating, the world started to spin and wouldn’t stop. I mean the entire planet went topsy-turvy in my head and would not stop. Naturally such turbulence caused great nausea, in turn causing an exorcist-like expelling of everything the ancestors and I have ever eaten all over my pretty home, including my happy-making brand new lime green 1800
