Things I Love: Sunday Edition
Once again, I come with a Things I Love post. I've found that in writing them, I am able to look back on my week and remember all the goodness in my life, from the big things down to the little things. Cultivating that sort of positive mindset has been so rewarding.
Natural warmth is our shared capacity to love, to have empathy, to have a sense of humor. It is also our capacity to feel gratitude and appreciation and tenderness. It's the whole gamut of what are often called the heart qualities, qualities that are a natural part of being human. Natural warmth has the power to heal all relationships--the relationship with ourselves as well as with people, animals, and all that we encounter every day of our lives. -Pema Chodron
♥ pair bonding ♥ weight training ♥ my green re-usable takeout container for the cafeteria ♥ filing my federal income tax already ♥ dinner at local sprouts ♥ staying on top of my school work ♥ tidying my space ♥ cultivating friendly acquaintanceships on campus ♥ helping others ♥ between class hugs ♥ tiger balm ♥ my favorite jeans ♥ spending time with the 'regulars' at sprouts ♥ singing backup vox ♥ playing woodblock ♥ sobriety ♥ cornmeal cookies with lime frosting ♥ warm snuggly bathrobes ♥ snuggle breaks ♥ greek yogurt with honey ♥ chatting with tea ♥ cooking dinner for my love ♥ music by members of the local sudanese community ♥ chocolate ♥ simon and garfunkel ♥ you ♥
And as always, I'd love to hear from all of you, my friends. What are you loving this week?
