i am grateful…
1) for my grandmother, rose kelter, then rose reiss. she would have been 108 today. happy birthday, grandma. i didn’t get to know her very well, but she was into health food way before her time. snacks at her house were carob chips, apple, and sunflower seeds. but she also made the most delightful pound cake ever. katharine hepburn called her as a favor to their shared dentist when she was considering getting her hip replaced. (apparently kate had a great experience with it; my grandmother was convinced.)
2) that i’m learning to be more honest. that, actually, the key to my happiness lies in being more honest–with myself, everyone. kindly honest.
3) water
4) that i finally got a backup harddrive–the “this computer has not been backed up for 382 days messages were getting heavy.
5) that my landlord seems to have finally found and sealed the leak
6) tacos on soft corn tortillas
7) that i’m accepting that’s it’s ok i’m still sad about someone even tho i “should” have gotten over it by now. i know i sound like a bad kate hudson flick but, “there are no shoulds when it comes to the heart.” retch. but, mary oliver said it better: “let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.”
8) for the friends who have been checking in on my sick, hacking self
9) inauguration fevah
10) oranges
