rainy week gratitude

i am grateful for:

1) maple cream. omg. how did i go all these years without tasting such a heavenly thing?

2) my half birthday

3) b. running in a 10K race, 6 months after knee surgery. yay!

4) apples that taste like trees and country air

5) finally seeing stone barns. and the chili at their harvest fest.

6) gigantic pigs snuffling and snorting and shoving and rolling in the mud and being happy grunty pigs

7) how getting into nature recalibrates my whole being, directing my thoughts to more pleasant places.

8) my new “super om” t-shirt

9) ellen’s video denouncing the social ecosystem that lead to that rutger’s kid jumping off the george washington bridge

10) dreams

11) leaves, starting to go blond and auburn and fire engine red
