clean teeth gratitude

i am grateful for:

1) freshly cleaned teeth. they bled like hell, but they look so pretty and feel so fresh and so clean-clean. now, to floss.

2) my friend elena azzoni’s memoir shipping! please check out “a year straight: confessions of a boy-crazy lesbian beauty queen.” it and she are awesomely funny and real.

3) ‘snice’s ugly bar–pure teeth-undoing granola bar, home-made yum.

4) how dancing the other night felt like flying. those moments when the music actually lifts you like a big dancer guy would if you were a stubbornly tiny ballerina. then you fly, then settle, fly, settle. it feels so good, this alternating between air and earth.

5) what feels like a cosmic shift. just suddenly a little happier today. thanks, alignment of the universe.

6) working on a project with my sweets. shared activities/goals/projects = good.

7) getting help to do some needed facelifting on this blog and site.

8) random nudges from friends who keep me working on what matters.

9) specific nudges from my partner to keep me working on what matters.

10) indian summer. the way the sun scorches my jeans while a breeze cools my neck. ah, fall.
