i am grateful for….
1) quiet, air-conditioned coffee shops with the good jazz playing
2) not being like the girls sitting up front cursing and damning every person, act, and thing that crossed their lips. it’s like they created a toxic cloud of negativity. i forot about people like that–totally no holds barred, all out dissers. blamers. haters. who look normal enough in their urban outfittersy outfits and flip flops. by normal i mean people who think about what they say before–or as–they say it. and i realize judging others for being negative is its own little ironic feedback loop. but you know what? yuck. i send them love and i move my chair.
3) realizing a couple of things: 1) i am allergic to sugar. really and truly. it makes me feel bad or badder most of the time. 2) i do not multi-task. i mono-task quite well. but i do not juggle and i’m beginning to think this is maybe ok and that it would be fabulous to build a life around that.
4) being a little bit accidentally tan
5) watch hill in fire island. wow. so beautiful. long stretches of beach. nice families willing to share marshmallows (er, yes, sugar). piping plovers. long grass that looks like crushed velvet in the breeze. new boardwalks.
6) six-point beer in cans at the supermarket
7) being heard, not solved
8) reading, the ultimate mono-task. so indulgent and good.
9) writing support all around
10) penny tile
