Grateful for:
- Spending 2 hours in the bath and then another 3 hours in the kitchen… I love my quiet weekdays. I now have things sprouting, brewing and dehydrating all over the place again and the kitchen is alive!
- My new cook book is proving the most engaging read ever.
- Making the longest shopping list, pretty excited about my next trip to the markets.
- Dealing with 2 days worth of emails.
- Staying on top of my daily meditation and daily to do lists, so far so good, would even say great!
- Noticing people withdrawal symptoms. They are addictive like all good things in life I guess. Persisting with choosing to stay home and not escape into someone’s company. Self observation and analysis is a pretty powerful addiction in its own right.
- Enjoying my zen space.
- Finally putting to use my tea light teapot warmer I bought recently. Hot tea all day long from now on Halleluja!!!
- Making my first recipe from the new cook book – raw marinated vegetables. Great way to prepare some that is not like a salad.
- Also making raw apple porridge and choc chia seed pudding. I so love to be home and cook my weird and wonderful foods.
- Having a new guest in the house for the next 10 days. Another person to cook for and swap recipes with – Hooray!
- Recognising a definite fish addiction – in the absence of the usual salmon I craved and ate a whole can of Russian style sardines. I wonder what it means.
- Enjoying evenings by candle light every night.
- Unpacking several ebay purchases that came in while I was away… and making 2 new ones. Hmmmm… I think I have just spotted another addiction.
- Does having about 3 litres of green tea count as an addiction? How about cooking for several hours in a row?
- Realising that some of my most powerful introspections happen through having imaginary conversations in my head. Now I have a reason to let my daydreams run wild as they do.
- Easily coming up with 15+ items to be grateful for lately. Is that a reflection on the increasing quality of life, strengthened gratitude muscle or general chattiness?
