i am grateful for:
1) my new chiropractor who adjusted me and then did acupuncture on my tightest back zone, behind my heart chakra. and how she used words and terms like “pranic energy” and “this is the spot where the spiritual body meets the physical body and you’ve got a traffic jam.” and how my brain, in an obvious yet prfound wiring leap got this: i’m always wanting to feel my heart more, feeling like i am a cold creature for not being able to actually feel much love in my heart. and duh, connecting that to my actual physical body being locked up. i am sure this is a deja revelation, but still, good. she said i might experience some sorrow and to eat protein tonight.
2) much less snow, much less slush
3) plowing
4) mail delivery
5) living with a cook. who also does dishes.
6) cooking, and enjoying cooking. actually creating recipes and making them and them tasting so good. i get it now–connecting heart to hand to food–very nourishing little cycle.
7) google docs
8) making the bed
9) tennis balls under sore spots
10) cesar millan. just can’t get enough.
11) season 2 of in treatment. just watching the oliver storyline my friend keith co-wrote. it is unsurprisingly heavy and smart and fabulous.
12) walking through the park mid-day
13) bright yellow flowers
14) my own yoga practice, quietly growing between the bed and the sofa. it just gets so much deeper than the race-to-keep-up-with-the-class stuff. feels so selfish to hold pigeon forever, like i’m doing something wrong almost. but it’s delicious. i think i tatsed ecstasy in shoulderstand the other day. and hell in wheel–also good to note where i need a good teacher saying, “hey, your shoulders are too tight for that. do bridge.” but, alas.
15) chocolate cookies from union market
