post tofurkey day gratitude

i am grateful for:

1) a quiet, rainy day in houston.

2) chocolate pecan pie.

3) getting the earlier plane, without a fee. and cruising through security–did no one decide to fly this weekend for the first time ever?

4) finding ways to move my body without yoga for the moment. i’m having wrist pain, and resting my entire weight on 90-degree-bent wrists again and again dozens of times a week was not working for me. now i’m making friends with the eliptical machine. and trying to figure out how to make that spiritual.

5) procrastinating writing the “art of procrastination” speech i’m giving on monday.

6) cuddles from my honey during stressful moments. his soft, loving touch only needs to be a moment and my nervous system responds like a starfish to tides. swoosh.

7) super target. black friday got me some cute socks. and a nano.

8) those little fake votives in yoga classes everywhere. they’re surpsingly calming and life-like, similar to the roaring digital fireplace.

9) “my fair wedding,” the david tutura show. i know, yes. but fun! moving, and pretty. although dangerously fantasy-escalating.

10) making my string beans/tomato/onions/garlic/lemon dish for t-day. ah, veggies. not that many in houston.

11) christmastime sparkle glitter magic.
