holy-mother-of-all-that-is-holy-will-the-sun-please-come-out? gratitude

i am grateful for:

1) the bumpersticker i saw on a truck yesterday: “schlong is better than schlort.”

2) my new chiropractor, who managed to cover cerebrospinal fluid movement, joseph campbell, oscar wilde, and his irish mother who always talked about death (“if you’re meant to drown, you’re not meant to hang”). he also laughed at my rime of the ancient mariner joke and adjusted the hell out of my crooked C2.

3) my prescription for the week: walk three times a day

4) mini hot chocolate shots from city bakery

5) getting back to bitch yoga classes. they’re not nice, but oh how it feels good to push and sweat.

6) our new stock pot. chili, here we come!

7) knowing the month of may exists. it’s not very present-moment of me, but sometimes awareness of the future makes the moment a little bit more luminous (especially when said future has sunshine in it).

8) actually moist berry bran muffins

9) getting things framed that i’ve been meaning to frame forever

10) this new app that tracks my time spent on projects

11) the mac app store, no iphone needed

12) plants in winter

13) naked willow tree branches

14) knot-free hair
