I just ran off 2009. It’s New Year’s Eve and I just went for the most spectacular run under the second full moon of the month. Halfway through the run I couldn’t decide whether to go my long loop or my short loop. There were time constraints to consider. There were cookies that I had eaten earlier in the day to consider. There were friends who I was eager to meet up with to consider. But I turned my brain off and I checked in with my body. The second I did that I heard my body asking for more and telling me that it was up for the long loop even though I hadn’t been running in a week and a half.
After deciding to go the long loop, the blue moon came into view and I was overcome with peacefulness. I bid adieu to 2009 and I realized that, for the first time in a long time, I am content with where I am and who I am and I am not fixated on changing a thing. Thank you sweet jesus.
This morning, a dear friend sent me a list of things that she is grateful for and here is my list that I sent back to her:
-My lady friends and fun times and great chats had with them
-The peacefulness that I feel about the coming but still unknown changes regarding life after law school. The certainty that I feel that all will be well.
-yoga
-exploration in the kitchen
-growing acceptance of all parts of me
-financial security
-my B Street refuge
What’s on your list?
