I'm going back to basics.
The gratitude lists are being resurrected. They seem to keep my head on straight. They also remind me of the grace and wonder in my life- something that I've allowed myself to overlook a little too often (and for incredibly wrong reasons) lately.
So, Gratitude list, 12 April 2009 edition:
- Waking up to find Tuck asleep on my feet and Belle sprawled on the pillow next to me. Shortly thereafter, Belle moved to snuggle up with Tucker...and I have to rave about how cute they are together.
- Getting up to Alta for just a little while today. My foot wasn't happy to be skiing but the rest of me was. I will never fully understand the magic that is Little Cottonwood, but magic it is- magic of the soul-healing vairant.
- My piriformis has been out of spasm for 5 whole days. Considering it had been in spasm for...well, a year or two, on and off, this is amazing.
- Spending a few minutes with a wonderful friend earlier today. She's one of those "move a body" kind of friends and I couldn't love and respect her more.* It was wonderful to see her new home and to spend time with she and the wonderful man who is the reason for the new home.
- My new kitchen sink is so, so wonderful. I should have had it changed out months ago.
* Credit to Brene Brown for this description. "Move a body" friends are those friends who you could call if you literally needed to move a body- and not only would they help you, they wouldn't judge you either.
