Gratitudes + things that are making me happy

• writing letters

• a magic ring

• watching movies because Miss Erin tells me to

• reading relatively few blogs

• a lavender candle

• my first and own copy of the Book of Common Prayer

• dinner and Twin Peaks with Sui

• reading and eating outdoors

Zen Habits

• realizing how many bad habits I do not have to conquer, simply because I do not have them yet — all I have to do is avoid picking them up, which is so much easier. E.g. nicotine; I am not addicted to nicotine. Awesome. One bullet dodged.

• after-rain air

• only turning my phone on periodically

• fat-positivity

• my copy of Lord of the Rings (big omnibus with the Alan Lee illustrations)

• getting those small but niggling tasks done

  3. Sarah Louise - Thank you. :)

    sui - I'm quite enjoying it, too, and I've not even super compulsive about it when it's on.

  5. Hey, I'm not addicted to nicotine either! Wow, I feel great.
    I'm also very jealous of your Lord of the Rings omnibus.

  6. Erin - Psycho! It makes good memories and associations. Sweeney Todd and The Village are Erin-told-me-to movie memories too.

    Jenica - Right? Like being born wealthy. And that was probably the best thing I ever put on my Christmas wish list.

  7. turning off my phone (periodically, or leaving it at home when i go out) has turned off my anxiety. so has reading fewer blogs!
