Its been tough these past couple of days. And no, I'm not having a personal, existential crisis, nothing of that sort, but I/we are in a middle of a big case at work and its making me so stressed that I'm even having trouble sleeping at night. Obviously I can't talk about it here and as much as I want to write about something else, I just can't do that right now.So this is where I need your help. I'm trying to think happy thoughts, so if you have time, please drop me a line in the comment section about words or poetry or things that inspire you and make you happy. I would really appreciate it. Gracias.
P.S. What I wouldn't give to be traveling somewhere on a train in Europe right now. With the one I love, of course.

My flickr contacts always, always inspire me. I collect their miracles.
ReplyDeleteSidewalk astronomy. The pavement between the ninety-four-year-old man and his telescope which reads DRINK ME. Jupiter's stripes, winter-colored from this distance, three of her moons in a perfect line.
Giving things away.
Dreaming of Greenland.
Registering for my next semester classes. Sociolinguistics and cross-cultural psychology really actually excite me.
Grace Cathedral, and walking its labyrinth.
The pomegranate syrup at the coffeehouse. [Verdict on pomegranate latte: foam nasty, coffee good.]
Realizing that I really know nothing about cameras, nothing about processing or post-processing, and I don't mind. I take pictures.
Um ... I am reading Pinion by Claudia Emerson. That collection makes me very happy. Not that it's a happy collection. The writing is just so lush and disturbing and yummy.
ReplyDeleteI don't have much to offer right now (though I just read this short post dedicated to the third week of November on Curious Girl and it made me smile: http://curiousgirl-lisa.blogspot.com/2009/11/dear-third-week-of-november.html )
ReplyDeleteI came in also looking for something lovely to focus my thoughts on. Something that'll inspire me to fly again.

ReplyDeleteMy dog, Sport.
When you get to Portland we'll meet at a dog-friendly coffee shop & you'll meet him.
Lisa Mitchell's album 'Wonder' inspires me and makes me happy. All of the songs on it are so good.
