Today I woke up with a bad-ish mood. It seems as if I had a lot of pent-up feelings that I wanted to tell someone. But it came out on the cleaning lady unfortunately. Actually I had to tell her a few things too. But it's okay. Everything was under control.
I locked myself out of the house before going to the gym. So I had to go all the way to Goregaon to get the extra set of keys. But that is always fun. She is so sweet and the highway etc. was fun and bright and whizzing and buzzing. I am dangerously low on cash. But I really do want to live with an open, expansive heart. So - cash is low but there are quite a few other things today that made me feel really, really rich!
Here are all the things I am grateful for:
1. Papa is well. Had a sun conversation with him.
2. I myself am well. Have been felling tired but no other complaints. Can stand up, sit up, walk about, etc.
3. Finished reading 'The Gentleman from Peru' by Amdre Aciman. It's tender and sweet - a little mystical and all that. A gossamer-type summer story. I finished the last few pages enjoying a butter croissant and a black coffee at the cafe below my house. This type of outing just fills me up.
4. Saw a really nice video on YouTube on wolves. I have become so fascinated with them suddenly! The documentary maker or videographer (not clear who he is) decides to set up ten cameras to check the movement of wolves around a dead elk. The footage is beautiful. This is set in the Yellowstone Park during winter - so we are looking at majestic white landscapes and a mighty elk with beautiful horns - and the money shot of a pack of wolves moving and gliding stealthily in the territory. We see one wold carry away one of the cameras and return to the scene one final time. It's a lovely video.
5. I made a list of the next 11 books that I will read over the next few months. That is such a delicious exercise! To know that you have all of these books lined up and this ensures that you don't feel lost looking for ways to occupy yourself. I am so, so grateful for getting back to the reading habit!
