more blizzardy gratitude

i am grateful for:

1) having cold feet and knowing i have a way to get them warm quickly and easily

2) getting to see my two favorite jennifers today

3) chocolate chai tea

4) sixth avenue in park slope finally getting plowed

5) the john irving book “until i find you,” which is amazing and more than a little depressing, but i’m feeling like it will be therapeutically and intellectually worth it. also, i’m not allowed to read it alone after dark any more. a good new rule for the depressive-prone and all wrenching, dark fiction.

6) people liking the mary oliver quote i just put on facebook as much as i do: “tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

7) my honey allegedly making it home tonight, finally. no more holiday separation, please. thanks, blizzard and parental guilt.

8) fabric with little mirrors in it

9) hope for 2011

10) the seagulls i can see from my window

11) bikram yoga in south slope. way less smelly, more spacious, and less antagonistic and shaming teachers. i almost like it.

12) coffee time!
