i am grateful for:
1) how the birds flying out in the sky show up reflected in the coffee table. i wish i could show you a picture. it’s cool. like fish swimming under a top-frozen pond.
2) showering. it really is one of the best anti-depressants.
3) green & black chocolate’s new (is it new? or just new to me?) flavor: ginger. mwuh!
4) our awesome fairway shop last night. 9pm, monday night. after grass-fed burger night at fort defiance. all aisles open. no toddler-dodging. no giving the couple fighting over the cost of olive oil wide berth. just, ahhh. groceries. jesus, i am officially elder.
5) hormone-free, all-natural chocolate pudding.
6) sunshine!
5) stir-fry home lunch.
6) article interviews over email. oh my lord, that’s easier.
7) this new project i’m doing at mom365, where i’m interim editor–collecting birth stories. we’ve gotten about 20 so far and it’s so beautiful and outrage-inspiring and wonderful. strong women and incompetent doctors who do not understand some things about birth. hoping to see some good doctors appear. a birth story is the ultimate hero’s journey. shero’s journey. complete with dark night of the soul and tasting the elixir of wisdom. it’s really moving and amazing. i feel honored.
8) mastering the tweet.
9) obama’s second chance. pull it together, dude! be real. watch biden! kill him with brains and wit and warmth!
10) jon stewart, for getting us all through the mishigas without destroying anything. well, too many things. so far.
