on a king-sized bed, wifi, gigantic jacuzzi tub, stream outside, tea, warm socks, chocolate. yum. does it count as a retreat if i’m blogging? or if my brain is hammering away at me with the same old broken-record thoughts and obsessions? well, i think even so, yes. it’s lovely here in ye olde ‘stock. i ran into someone i haven’t seen since 1995 when we lived in bunkbeds next to each other at kripalu. that was neat. (hi, a!)
i am grateful for…
1) how the phrase “obama administration” just never gets old
2) spontaneous yoga class at bliss up here
3) that my birthday is soon. i know, but i think this will be a good year, even if i’m older. because i’m sooo much wiser? or hope to be. or something.
4) the incredible writing class i just started taking. oh kids, it is da bomby bomb bomb. i’m very excited and scared in a good way.
5) the crazy series of cool coincidences i’ve been having
6) the newish shrink
7) bead board–in places that are not my home
8) genmaicha
9) the unbelievably fantastic japanese place s. took me to the other night. can you say sweet potato ice cream with mango, mint, and strawberry? and fantastic gyoza? and silky sake? yumm.
