sadness, cupcakes, and obama gratitude

it’s sort of a heart-sad, chilly saturday evening here at chez me. but i’m leaving in a bit to decorate cupcakes (read: eat them) at j’s party. and i’ve saged and tidied, and lit a candle and taken a bath and avoided the work i need to do on a project (yikes, deadline, looming).

i’m grateful for:
1) ani difranco singing amazing grace
2) tealights
3) hugs
4) pablo the wonder dog
5) cool squash from the farmers’ market. so psyched to try.
6) taking care of my heart in a way that i never have before. not that it’s pleasant. or easy. but it feels healthy and wise.
7) the mc yogi obama video (see below)
8) the delicious, inward, cleansing arc part of sadness
9) my transcribing friend t.
10) god
