at 10:28 pm on this day, i am grateful for:
1) feeling the reality of this anniversary in a deeper way than usual. not sure if there’s something with it being a seven-year cycle or what
2) sitting in the 11th street church and garden with j. at lunch and remembering
3) yesterday’s adrenaline abating
4) it looking like i’m going to hit this week’s deadline, despite all the trouble i’m having with the work
5) the lovely patio chat and snack with m.–and the way she asks questions and listens that makes story-telling so fun
6) hot baths with rose oil
7) all the wonderful comments on the blog today and the way it makes me feel connected
8) rice crackers
9) the honest pulse of new york city
10) new yorkers
11) the etching below
