to counter my crapola mood earlier, i thought i'd highlight some of the things i love:
- t. duh. since 1999 (with breaks here and there), we've been madly in love, each other's everything.
- running. as if i even needed to put this. if t. completes me, running makes me who i am. (once i asked t, "would you still love me if i weighed 500 pounds?" and he said, "no, because if you were 500 pounds, you wouldn't be who you are. you wouldn't be a runner, and you would be very different."
- chocolate. today is my favorite day of the year for that!
- my family. my parents never give up on me, and always believe in me. my sister is still totally nuts and i love her for that. my grandparents are all kind as well, though they definitely don't understand the running.
- yoga. it's often after doing yoga that i get the full mental benefits.
- writing. i don't do it enough lately, but i love getting into a groove and completing something i'm proud of.
- dancing. i love to dance and feel totally free and alive. at burning man, i went out alone during a dust storm and ended up dancing and hula hooping to some amazing old skool hip hop, and i felt so alive and amazing and ecstatic.
- traveling. what's not amazing abt seeing new and fantastic places?
- reading. i love to lost myself in another world.
- crafting. it's so rad to create something fantastic yourself.
- vegetarian cooking. i love baking and cooking. being vegetarian (and to be honest, not always the easiest eater to please), this is the best way to have a satisfying meal.
- my kitty.
- aid stations. you can pig out all you want (though if you watch me shovel my food at an aid station, you would probably think i was revolting!).
- burning man. ah, to be totally free and alive and carefree and ecstatically happy...!
- good mail, like letters from v or love letters or my running mags.
- my kickass friends, like v and rosa and all the runners and everyone else who contributes amazingly to me being as happy as can be.
