what i like about myself and my life

dvr + oprah’s super soul sunday + eckhart tolle = (-:

seeing the cats relaxing in the window when i’m riding home from work.

i’m not bragging ok? i rarely have a day like this. here’s why i liked it:

.vacation day = no work; yay!
.taught my first yoga class ever and did a good job [there were only 2 students but still]
.listened to music like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9Wf46tLonM
.went to the dentist and no cavities :-D
.went to a yoga teacher training info session and met this lady i have been emailing who is super nice also the owner of the place is super interesting and seems like she’d be a great teacher
.sun and no clouds and a reasonable temperature
.glass o’ red wine
.work seemed to have done itself at the office [as evidence by the emails i read]
.seeing the prince harry headline on tmz.com

talked to an old friend today. crazy life he has had. can’t relate to the extreme craziness, but we have the basics in common. he is swell.

i like to go for runny walks through my neighborhood. not far from me are: a river, a park, a dam, a hospital, a train station, downtown, a college. so much to see!

my new apartment sometimes reminds me of a fairy tale scene. it’s super old and pretty.

and sometimes when i leave to go to work, the hallway smells like my grandmother’s kitchen – coffee and ?...

i love spring! today i noted some cute flowers that appeared out of nowhere and the buds on the trees definitely have turned into leaves.

after having a job that made me frown for 5 years, i really appreciate the one i have now. even though it is stressful [but do i create this stress?] and requires some OT, it makes me smile for the most part. the people, benefits, actual work and culture all are aok. and i get a ton more respect than anywhere else i’ve worked.

in an attempt to cultivate self-love and appreciation for what i have, i’ve created this goal.

here we go:
.i like that i do yoga
.i like sleeping with the air purifier on and cats at my feet
.i like living in a place that gets snow
