oh good morning!

i keep a gratitude journal, and it’s separate from my main daily journal (which i lovingly call “The Main Squeeze” on my journaling app, so that i don’t get confused).

i don’t post in the gratitude journal as often as i’d like to, but here are some real entries (from the past 3 weeks) for things i’m grateful for!

• waking up early to do yoga on the rooftop, facing you.
• r. telling me “hey rose, your ‘sad state’ is better than most people’s normal state :)”
• met matt damon in my dreams last night, what?
• the feeling when i’ve slept with my hair wet and i let it down in the morning and the curls fall everywhere around my face, like pillowy clouds
• c. telling me that i’m his “sriracha soulmate”

• s. sending me the menu of osteria francescana, which has lovely watercolors and now  i am dreaming of going to italy one day and eating there and meeting massimo

• changed my work chat dock icon to a dancing Hobbes and it changed my life
• when doorman exclaims as i go downstairs on my way to work after rolling out of bed and throwing random clothes on at 8 in the morning: “you look so incredibly beautiful! tell me what your secret is! you don’t even wear makeup!” me blushing and shaking my head.
• the possible rain, the certainty that it will pass
• the man playing the accordion on the subway platform that brought tears to my eyes
• the 25 cent vending machine at work
• mom and dad practicing juggling for exercise
• t. telling me after reading my blog posts, and me being self-conscious of their recent length & subject: “they always seem too short, when you are the one writing.”
• the wild chase for the m&m statue!
• netflix
• dairy substitutes
• watching the galway girl scene over and over
• my amazing, imperfect knees that still work after everything they’ve been through
• avocados

have an incredible, gratitude-filled day.
