Today I am grateful for:
-daring greatly and trying something new hair.
-my morning VO.
-making good eye contact
-having some moments of really focusing on the present
-smiles
-having dinner with Jen. She is so wonderful. I say it so often, but it's honestly never enough. She made us a delicious meal of gnocchi with chicken meat balls, pizza, and a fantastic lava cake for dessert. She also let me ask questions upon questions about how she's doing and feeling and then she helped me brainstorm some ideas for writing, which was really generous of her. She's. so. incredible. She's definitely one of the most generous people I know. I'm so lucky to have her in my life. She inspires me all the time.
-galentines day.
-an evening of crafting with a surprise guest! Ruth came over and we watched tv, caught up on each others lives, and crafted for valentines day. It was such a treat.
-all the amazing support that I'm surrounded by.
-laughter
-my dad coming over to get all my tax stuff to take to his tax guy.
-The big fluffy snowflakes falling outside and the way it glistened in the street lamp light.
-This blog entry by Jill B. about valentines day. I couldn't agree more with her words:
"If you do not have a significant other and you are feeling hurt by Valentine's Day, please give yourself the best Valentines Day on the planet. Please treat yourself to whatever makes you happiest. Be your own significant other, because you are very very significant. You do have someone to share it with, it's you. You are a person and you are more than enough, and it's not that you're not good enough for anyone else, you are, but you're also good enough for you. I thought this before I had a boyfriend and I will continue to think it after he dies from eating too much cheesy rice and sausage.
BESIDES. BESIDES. If it is really your goal to have a significant other, other people like whole people. They don't like half people who only exist as defined by others. So go ahead, be whole, be complete, have a rich interesting life and make yourself a little nest that is perfect for you but could also expand. It took me a long time to figure that out and then I got a boyfriend so now my opinion seems like 'that's easy for you to say' but it wasn't."
-Random acts of kindness
-the basics
-as always, my friends.
