staycation gratitude

i’m mid-vacation. ignoring emails. (sorry.) doing my best to unwind to semi-avail. i’m grateful for:

1) walking on the gorgeous new jersey beach today, collecting beach glass, chilling with the gulls, praying. then being there with the vast calm ocean and the zaftig moon.
2) getting rubbed with hot stones. omg. so. good.
3) steamrooms and swimming pools. i forgot how much i love swimming. it’s like liquid hugs everywhere.
4) getting my ass kicked with a fabulous thai massage yesterday that reminded me where all the tension goes. ohhh, everywhere, even my forehead. fuck. must move chi.
5) cucumber margaritas (those are great for chi-flow, right?)
6) sitting two rows behind one of my favorite famous musicians at happy-go-lucky, a really smart, somewhat revelatory movie. and listening to him laugh at the smartest parts.
7) cookies
8) spa hair
9) how angst helps the writing
10) that my first love friended me on facebook
11) that i’m going to see speeeearhead!!!!!!
