day 16

it is just shy of 10:00 p.m. on january 16. i am in my little room; it just makes me so happy to be in here. “i am taking a breath full of peace and compassion and sending it to my dear friends who need it tonight.” i was actually thinking this as i looked into the camera…i guess because this exercise does feel a but like i am pausing to have tea with a friend when i take these polaroids. of course, this is a break with the friend who is me. but also a friend, like maureen, who is out there and might see this photo and know i am especially thinking of her tonight. on a much more shallow note, i am going to drink the rest of the chai latte with denny crane and the rest of the wacky folks on boston legal.




i am grateful for:

laughter
another snow day (jon has been off from school since thursday)
being snug at home
moments when i feel pretty
