hello?

yes, i'm still here.

feeling very strange and out of place today.

so i'm just going to sit with it.

i'm allowing myself to do almost nothing today.

well, at least i let go of my asana practice,

and that's saying something.

this is in my head:

"but i'll tell you life is sweet,

inspite of the misery

there's so much more to be grateful."

and i am grateful.

always.

here's a list.

one. i am oh so grateful for a very good friend that i get to see everyday: cj

two. i am indeed grateful for difficult days. they stretch me, and remind me i am human.

three. i am grateful for shelves full of books written by wonderful people.

four. i am grateful for all that life has to offer...even if somedays it feels like it's not offering it to me.

five. i am grateful for music that enters my ears, but touches my soul

six. i am grateful for tears

seven. i am grateful for laughter...especially when i can laugh at myself

eight. i am grateful that life goes on...that the sun rises everyday, and never stops

nine. i am grateful for rain...especially when i haven't felt it in months

ten. i am grateful for a friend who is there for me whenever i need someone to say something encouraging: cj (love you!)

what are you grateful for?
