morning musings & gratitude

Saturday, February 20, 2010

do you ever wake up from a dream, and what you were experiencing in your sleep feels so real and rich your whole being is still full with it as your rouse and rise? i’m sure you’ve had this experience too.

last night i was with old friends in virginia, outside in the summertime. hugging, laughing, exploring.

now that i’m no longer lounging under my down, i feel awake enough to hear the birds chirping outside my window on this early sacramento spring saturday. i’m sipping my tea and watching baby v comb the carpet with her pink plastic fork.

hey, today is one of my last saturdays teaching at Asha Yoga. won’t you come out and play?

and, i found some new things to be grateful for, my husband and daughter aside (because they always come first, bien sur)…
1) honey. not only do i spoon it from the jar into my mouth for a sweet treat and dose of allergy-prevention, but now i cleanse my face with it too. believe it! softest skin, totally natural. (thanks mom!)
2) a sudden influx of what i love to call fan mail (cause how cool is that!). thanks to each of you who have read my book and written to tell me how it made you feel. i do my best to respond to everyone individually, but sometimes i fall behind. i love you & am proud of you too!
3) sleeping. deeply. lately. thank goodness for that!
4) because no gratitude list of mine is complete without a mention of chocolate, i recently discovered Vosges Haut Chocolat, and I especially love Mo’s Dark Bacon Bar. $6 a pop at Whole Foods means it’s a rare treat, but surely worth it when i’m willing to splurge.
5) my daughter is learning to walk!
