gratitude on a monday night

i am grrrateful for:

1) honest, emotionally generous, open men

2) exploding coincidences

3) my new glasses, which sort of make me feel like i work in a science lab

4) that i worked up the chutzpah to stop spinning and just ask the question i needed to ask even though i felt stupid and vulnerable and like i shouldn’t be feeling what i’m feeling.

5) that i got a great, satisfying, real answer

6) sprouted wheat papparadelle

7) when people trust me with their secrets

8) when i can trust someone with my secrets (which hasn’t happened much lately, but it’s a really lovely, light, lifing (ooh, i meant lifting, but lifing is so much better) feeling).

9) getting out this weekend and sitting by a stream on the matte flat river rocks. and feeling the life in them. stones, alive. they really are.

10) you, again, all of you, for reading. i namaste.

11) feeling like i need to say something edgy here because the rest are so soft. which is interesting because i feel not soft at all today. i feel like swirls of broken glass. so what am i grateful for? still, the feeling of river rocks and sunshine and dressing warm enough for 55 degrees so it feels warmer not colder because i decided to wear a skirt or something. you know?
