post-funeral gratitude

just back from the funeral of my best friend’s dad. she’s getting married one week from today. and thinking of paul newman too. r.i.p.

i’m grateful for:

1) the gorgeously vivid, heartfelt, honest eulogies
2) white wine spritzers
3) hot, homemade crabcakes
4) that i’m feeling mostly mostly better
5) that my new fridge is finally coming monday. happy dance.
6) meeting d’s dad. nothing like talking to an intellectual giant about brownies and kucinich.
7) writing
8) the idea of moving to canada. or just nyc seceding.
9) trying to wean off facebook
10) um. today is hard. i’m feeling more wanting than grateful, honestly. which could be the point of this. to find ways to overflow when you seem empty. so. i am grateful for the foxiness and philanthropic inspiration of paul newman.
