Thankful... 01/17/12

Today I am thankful for...

... Noodles...

... Spicy Broth...

... Chopsticks...

... and Slurping.


Today I am thankful for...

... my new Asics gym shoes...

... improving endurance...

... ice-cold Penta water...

... and hot, sweaty women in yoga pants.


Today I am thankful for...

... a (relatively) clean house...

... San Lorenzo by the stove...

... cats who hide in boxes...

... and white porcelain Espresso and Cappuccino cups, hanging in rows... waiting for me.


Today I am thankful for...

... days off...

... rejuvenation...

... getting things done...

... and feeling "complete".


Today I am thankful for...

... free music...

... amazing headphones...

... body movements...

... within and without.


Today I am thankful for...

... the smell of a roll of 35mm film...

... the sound of the film advancing in my Canon...

... the feel of the lens as I focus...

... the mystery that comes with not always knowing what was actually captured.


Today I am thankful for...

... planning trips...

... dreaming of Cadillacs...

... Sunroofs open to the night sky...

... and jazz-filled nights.


Today I am thankful for...

... Roads that go ever, ever on...

... re-taking old journeys...

... the pitter-patter of raindrops on my roof...

... and the ability to be carried away.


Today I am thankful for...

... all that I have...

... all that I am...

... all that I know...

... and all that I have yet to become.
