sunday night gratitude

i am grateful for…

1) pequena’s fish tacos

2) olympic wintry fever fun and views of whistler

3) homemade healthier mocha

4) jbc

5) hanging with jj and kk at their two-year-old’s b-day party. and pink balloons and learning the term “donald duck”– for when kids somehow yank off their pants and run around in just a shirt and sneakers

6) seriously sweaty kula yoga

7) plowing through a whole bunch of work last week. life really is better when my old frenemy procrastination is not hanging around, huffing down my neck

8) vicariously skiing in canada

9) going to kripalu next month–excited for yoga, food, sauna, mountains–being there for the first time in a very long time

10) the neato book, “how to be an adult in relationships: the 5 keys to mindful loving,” by david richo, which, in its intro, promises to address these questions:

– what will it take for me to find the happiness i always wanted?

– will i feel loved the way i always wanted to be loved?

– what will it take for me to let go of the past?

– will i learn to protect my own boundaries, insist that others honor them, and honor those of others?

– will i ever let go of the need to control?

– will i ever dare to love with all my heart?

good, right?
