dix choses

today, i am grateful for:

1. this little button on blogger that you can just 1, 2, 3 bullet points
2. index fingers. was chatting with a gal last night about this blog - being grateful for the thumb. she shared an unfortunate index finger manicure experience, and index fingers are important too!
3. the wind, particularly as i was strolling by a cat-litter-box-filled trashcan, and the breeze came by to alleviate that situation.
4. dolphins. they have inspired me since age 7, and they inspire me to go surfing all the time. when i think of the possibility of seeing a dolphin in the ocean, i get my butt out there and get thrashed in ma blue, and it's always the ass-kicking and refresher that the doctor ordered.
5. surfing! wow that's good fun, even though i'm...still in a beginner's mind...and body!
6. raunchniness. where would we be, ab, without it? even purity begs a balance.
7. french bulldogs! holy cuteness! have you seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0-Sv6YnxEc
8. youtube! how else could we share french bulldogs can't roll over? global community come together!
9. japan, for their refined culture, manners, politesse, and healthy diet. fuji apples for dessert?! not quite there yet, but i'll letchya know...
10. morning doves cooing. their call reminds me of home, and of the place i stayed for vipassana meditation...always a call to sit, breathe, and be.
