Just a few scribbles before I take the night shift cheesecake up to the burn unit; it's only fair to provide a treat for both shifts, right? Besides, there's an incentive plan for going in since one of my favorite people is working tonight.
Happiness/ Gratitude list, 27 November 2008 edition:
- Naming the things I'm afraid of right now. If I don't do that, I can't figure out what to do about them, right?
- Even though I've whined about the hours required, I have truly enjoyed the cheesecake-making. And I'm damn good at it. Maybe it's time to go back to enjoying some indulgences made by me and being less neurotic about my eating.
- Tucker's gracious (and entertainingly curious) acceptance of the new feline inhabitant of our home. I'm also grateful for Mabelle, who is sitting here next to me while I write. So far she seems like a pretty terrific kitty.
- I'll admit that my life is more than a bit imperfect. It's messy, it's chaotic, and some days it overwhelms me. I'm grateful, however, that I'm learning to revel in that messiness. Sure, sometimes it feels a lot like a pig wallowing in shit. But most of the time that messiness is starting to feel more like finger painting did as a kid- messy, fun, and healing.
