we simply need to notice.

at the end of each month, i take stock of the daily goodness i’ve encountered and share it in a facebook post. occasionally i write about it here, in my studio notes, as well. the month of march is about to come to a close, and i’m finally checking in about february. it was a rather tough month for me, so i assumed my list wouldn’t be as long this time.

once again, however, this exercise reminded me WHY i do this in the first place. goodness can be found in even the darkest moments. we simply need to notice.
 
 
my february goodness:

  • true meditation
  • communication with sons
  • imbolc cleansing bath
  • new close connections on social media
  • fun times with italian friends at villa magnolia
  • short online strength training sessions with nick drago (and leslie sansone’s miracle band)
  • announcing my retreat bonuses (a visit to a 12th-century castle and a pasta-making lesson with an italian chef)
  • italian hot chocolate
  • reflexology appointments
  • a peaceful day at the sea and a lovely dinner out on valentine’s day
  • priest’s blessing over our casa
  • touched and delighted to be included in two dear italian friends’ birthday celebrations
  • watching some of the olympics with eric (through youtube tv)
  • a thorough cleaning/inventory/organization of my refrigerator’s crisper drawer
  • younger son on his college dean’s list
  • continuing to keep up a daily practice of qi gong (since the beginning of the year)
  • learning more about essential oils
  • nathan chen’s amazing figure skating redemption
  • fun date at the mall with eric
  • older son’s career advancements
  • “makko ho” meridian stretches
  • watching the “carpe diem/seize the day” scene from the movie dead poets society (for the hundredth time)
