Today was an atrocious day, so I’m gonna do something I’ve been meaning to do and make a gratitude list.
- Barack Obama got elected. That was a truly inspiring moment in history, and I got to see and be a part of that.
- I came a long way in ‘08. I came through a lot of hard times and learned a lot. I grew as a person.
- I found a wonderful soul to love and share my life with 7 months ago. I could not be luckier or want more. I wake up every day with the overwhelming desire to smother his face in kisses.
- That the universe blessed me and I found a job and an apartment across the street from it at the same time.
- I lost around 30# in ‘08. Jeez, I am thankful!
- My mom, and my sister. They rock the house, the mic, the party and yo face!
- Bacon. I am grateful for bacon. Mmmmm, bacon.
- And sugar free red bull.
- I’m grateful for hope. I’m becoming more and more inspired and getting my life back to where it should be.
I have hopes and dreams for this year.
- To get back on top of my life, which is very foreseeable. I see myself in a car in a few months and back in college by fall, or spring at the latest.
- To get back on top of my health, and do all those obligatory “resolutions” this year for riz: quit smoking, learn to eat better, enjoy exercising, and lose that last 20#. Also, more yoga, regular facials, mani/pedis, vitamins, the lot.
- To indulge in inspiration and creativity and to give myself the freedom to experiment, play, create, learn, grow as an artist, and be joyously and obsessively prolific.
- This includes being a pack rat with wreckless abandon!
- To daydream beautifully about trips abroad, learning to surf, playing an instrument and dancing Flamenco.
- Develop a routine that is productive, saving recipes, keeping morgue files, organizing, streamlining, and taking possession of my life again.
- Learning what the serenity prayer means and letting go of the need for control, relaxing, and letting life unfold gorgeously, messily, and mysteriously.
- Embellish life at every opportunity with good smelling things, fun accessories, bright toenail polish, and candlelight.
