I'm waiting for my laundry to dry and decided to write a post. I'm rocking out to mother effing Carla Bruni.
Lately a few friends have called and talked about 2012 and what to do. I know it's right around the corner but I haven't thought about it too much. In fact, I feel downright peaceful.
For a Type A high achiever, that's a head scratcher, even for me. I don't know why. (Last night I had a dream that every person on who had a sitcom television show. Is it a hint? I have no idea. I'm not obsessing over it.)
Maybe it's because I was REALLY DAMN sick a few weeks ago, to the point where I wanted to be put out of misery. And now I'm like: Breathing well? Awesome! My throat doesn't feel like the inside of a volcano when I swallow? Score!
Maybe it's because I lost a very good friend to cancer and her death made me remember that life is a gift and that we're here to help each other out.
Maybe I'm grateful I moved to Manhattan from the burbs and I don't have to deal with tying up my godamned recycling.
(The alarm on my phone went off. I went down stairs and changed my laundry. Washer #4 is effed up and luckily I didn't put my clothes in there. YES!!)
I feel good and I feel really happy and nothing extraordinary has happened.
Just the realization that I have the family that I've always wanted and I'll never take that for granted. Anyone who says that you have to suffer to be an artist is full of bullcrap. Having no drama and having nice normal people around makes me far more productive than not.
Nothing is perfect...and yet that's what feels perfect.
I'm grateful for all the wonderful things that have happened and also the exciting things for 2012. But most importantly, I'm happy to feel focused on gratitude.
Right. Now.
I will write a long assed list of things that I'm grateful for...but for now, this is what is on my mind :-D
Happy Holidays!
