I’m Grateful for:
1. Coffee with my bunky this morning at Starbucks. A better way to start the day than snoozing through the alarm for an hour and racing to work
2. giving myself a break for not working as much as I should this week. some weeks I work more, some less. rain-induced inertia and boredom.
3. workouts with a friend, time to connect, how good my body feels, and how much less space my body takes up in my head
4. the tree outside my bathroom window. First, it had purple flowers, then huge broad heart-shaped bright green leaves, and also little seedpods hanging for the branches. In the pacific northwest, the trees only have leaves for the most part. All this embellishment is cool.
5. The Tom Stoppard play ‘Arcadia’ that I just read. very clever.
6. I get to have a slumber party with my favorite person every night.
7. knowing that when someone is in a bad mood, she will feel better soon. it’s only a matter of time. I know this from years of experience–it always passes. always.
