Egads!
This is from the " Best of 2009" "challenge" that I am "doing." The original post is here!
December 13 What's the best change you made to the place you live?
Ha ha, I'm so psyched that I'm answering this late, because today I got a proper television on which to watch movies and I am EXCITED. The good thing is that making space for it made me clear out a ton of stuff in my room that's just been sitting there, waiting to be cleared out. Also: having a very organized, scrupulously curated closet has worked wonders in my life. It is a great feeling to open your closet door and be completely, totally in love with everything you wear and to know that nothing is going to languish, unworn, cluttering up my space and mind. I would almost say that the relationship I have to this moment is way more fulfilling than most dating interactions, that's how revolutionary it feels.
December 14 Rush. When did you get your best rush of the year?
In the spring a friend of mine who owned a stable had to shut it down because it was getting too expensive to run. I was visiting about two weeks before it closed and got to ride some of his horses one more time. One of the horses and I had a really great rapport, and so for the first time in years I did some jumping and it was just such a thrill. Total bliss and adrenaline.
