This idea from bouncing around the intenet and following links from
The Fluent Self. Given things have felt a lot Hard and quite Painful where the joy and happiness has been less prominent I thought this would be a good start for focus shifting back to the joy, the good, the delightful and the loving:
1. My job and getting to be good at it.
2. My boss who does support, information, mentoring and appreciation really well.
3. Tea. My favourite tea right now is the T2 Red Green Vanilla.
4.
Andaluz, which I have discovered is my favourite bar.
5. Having a favourite bar. Where they now recognise me!
6. The new Darren Hayes album Secret Codes and Battleships
7. Specifically, the songs 'Roses' and 'Bloodstained Heart'
8. Dessert. Really, well thought out, exquisitely prepared, dessert.
9. Discovering that if I stop trying to drink gin in Gin Martinis that it appears that I actually like gin. (I've been wanting to like gin for a couple of years).
10. Melbourne. And I'll be there next week!! I cannot wait.
11. Connectionism. The ways in which people and me and things in my life, things I want, things I don't want, choices, decisions, challenges and everything all connects. All the moments coming together, all specific, separate and yet still connected.
12. Twitter.
13. Quirky hashtags.
14. Deepening connections with people like Pokmcfee and Flyingblogspot.
15. The Stern (Loving) Words that Flyingblogspot says when I get conflumoxed by asking for anything that reminds me that asking is mindful and useful and part of winning at adulthood.
16. I get to see MS who is one of my Loves next week! Cuddles! Conversations!
17. Visiting my favourite painting in the National Gallery of Victoria: Australia next week! Spirit of the Southern Cross and Spirit of the New Moon by Arthur Loureiro, I cannot wait to sigh happily looking at how beautiful you are and how inspirational I find you!
18. Glenda Larke's book 'The Last Stormlord'
19. Flyingblogspot's
Map of Win20. That my beloved Calli is in Americaland at the pumpkin-happy time of year! Abundance of pumpkins!
21. Watching Sons of Anarchy which I have not worked out at all why I like, and yet... I really do.
22. Coming home last night to find that K and Cam had cooked dinner.
23. Spending playful and silly time with K last night (there may have been a bath involved).
24. My boss wandering over and offering to do the coffee run this morning (alas I already had mine).
25. Hipikat's way of making me feel wonderful, even when we don't get to catch up.
26. Being a
grownup (also known as: winning at adulthood).
27. Sharing afterwork drinks with Pokmkfee and Flyingblogspot - and knowing that we're starting something of a trend!
28. Coming up with a potential blog project that I'm excited about and is on a subject that I love, a subject that I'm passionate about and a subject that I think I have some unique and interesting things to say about it. This is also nervous!making, but I have sent it off to people for Thoughts and Reassurance so it will be awesome.
29. Adam Lambert. He just makes me melty. I can't wait for his new album.
30. Feeling confident and more connected to my being Amazing in the world. Sharing the Amazing with others with much delight and almost no fear.
