Today was the kind of day I wish every day in this vacation had been like. I spent some really lovely time with a friend this morning and then came home and did some journaling and finally got up to exercise and almost immediately felt better than I had all week. Then I meditated for 10 minutes.
Then I made my spinach, water and orange drink and some peas and corn and rice. And now my whole body is sizzling with the leftover energy from exercise and I feel so deeply grateful.
I wish I would do a better job remembering how good this feels. Ending the vacation in a high note at least.
Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday that resonates with me. I don’t dislike it the way I dislike Halloween but I also don’t love it the way I love Christmas. So it’s just a meh holiday.
What I do love is taking a whole day off to do nothing without feeling bad about it.
Today I scrapped, journaled and did a puzzle. All while watching six hours of TV.
It’s hard to call this book excellent because it’s so very very depressing. A stark, real look at depression and also so much history, politics and background on all the ways depression and race and poverty intersect. Eye opening and so very sad.
I love pueblo’s books. They are pithy and they make you think and they help you remember that life is an inside job. And doing your work is never a waste of time.
this book was on my list for several reads. I am so excited I finally got to sit down and read it. It was absolutely excellent. There are so so many good pieces of information in this book. So much helpful advice. If you’re burned out, worn out, overwhelmed, this will help.
excellent. Erdich writes in a way no one can. There’s so much packed into this story. So much of what we’ve been living through told in eloquent, funny and thoughtful ways. She is so very talented.
