Gratitude Journal- Day 6- October 15, 2016.
☆ Having too much of a headache, I was unable to try to make any dinner but I was hungry. I decided to go out to that restaurant nearby that I was at the other night- The Peaceful Restaurant. Yes, that is it’s actual name! And it turned out to live up to its name each time. A warm, soothing bowl of chicken soup noodles, a glass mug of earthy green tea, and quiet music in the background, like a lullaby had me on the road to recovery. Even the tension in my shoulders loosened with every sip of tea. And I felt as if everyone around me was relaxed and using the place as a resting spot as well. Now I know where to go for some R and R while filling my stomach.
☆ Glow– by Jessica Maria Tuccelli – This book definitely picked me. I had never heard of it and was not looking for it. It just whispered “Buy me”, and wow! I had no idea what I was in for. I am only a few pages in and it has got me crying, laughing, hurting, hoping and appreciating. And the descriptions and language are gripping. I could learn a lot from this kind of writing, about how to improve my own writing.
☆ Boston Pizza- brings back good memories of eating out with my mom and brother when we were so young. I don’t remember what we talked about, but I remember always ordering potato skins and my mom liking pizza with ground beef, green peppers and mushrooms. That was our signature family pizza order always. 🙂
☆ Eating a mini vegee pizza today and having my own booth in the corner to dry off and contemplate life at. Or maybe I just was appreciating down time away from the constant buzz and bass of today.
☆ Dancing to that bass once I was reenergized from my Boston Pizza and Glow reading break.
☆ Sticking around, meeting new people, catching up with the ‘oldies’, and not feeling guilty about saying no, or at least knowing when to walk away and say thank you,… but no thank you.
☆ Dancing for my mom, and being aware of the actual moment when i realized that’s what I was doing, that that is what I just have to do. Dance YOU free. Dance for your peace. ♡♡♡
