3/13
i'm thankful that though my body hasn't adjusted to daylight savings time yet, it will eventually adjust. i'm thankful to have had the idea to try to adjust my schedule a bit so that i start work a bit later in the day and meditate first. i'm thankful that i did this yesterday and while it did not stop me from becoming angry and worked up because customers were rude to me, that doesn't mean that it didn't help me or wasn't worthwhile in other ways. i'm thankful that a benefit doesn't have to be visible to exist.
i'm thankful that there is more light in the evening, even if that makes it harder to watch TV, and that for now it is darker in the morning; i'm thankful that when i wake up early, as i have recently, i don't know about what time it is by looking at the crack in the blinds to see how much light is coming in. i'm thankful for markers of seasonal change. i'm thankful that when d and i were walking on the weekend we saw the beginnings of daffodils sprouting in people's yards. i'm thankful that d knows flowers well enough to know they were daffodils.
i'm thankful that d made bo ssam for our dinner this week. i'm thankful to wrap a hunk of hot fatty meat in a leaf of lettuce and douse it in a sauce and wrap it into a present and pop it into my mouth. i'm thankful that though the momofuku sauces weren't that great (continuing our trend of being unimpressed by momofuku), she is going to make the maangchi sauces that we know we love for dinner today. i'm thankful to have done the dishes. i'm thankful for these chocolate chip cookies she also made, which, though i have always been more on the thick soft chocolate chip cookie end of the spectrum than the thin crunchy end, have converted me, i think.
i'm thankful for this sketch which made me laugh very hard. i'm thankful for this set of terrace house reaction gifs, which i need to scrape and upload to giphy for easier access in slack. i'm thankful for this intriguing procedurally generated podcast. i'm thankful for mary ruefle, shigeru miyamoto, and anne carson. i'm thankful for this hole in a manuscript, embroidered shut with silk thread. i'm thankful for the song "for the trees" by matmos.
