Today has been a good day! I did a slow motion sleepy rave this morning, but at least I started out with my thoughts and words focused in a positive direction, which is what I'm going for! Managed to get to the gym right after work today, which was also great. Did some Zuzka power yoga! Pretty sweet!
Things today that were great: Sleeping in and skipping the shower (seems like I've written this before...), letting Ollie out and breathing in fresh cold air, letting the cold air in my lungs trigger immediate appreciation, brushing my teeth, raving in slow motion for 10 minutes, bundling up and braving the cold, walking to work and finding appreciation along the way, getting there on time and setting up in a timely manner, working with some of my favorite co-workers, eating leftover salad from yesterday, finding a butter knife that had become magnetized somehow and playing with it and a fork, making jokes with customers, enjoying the slow start to the morning and the ensuing wackiness, eating a Builder's Bar and letting it wake me up, tasting the delicious soup of the day, writing the specials on the board, seeing an old friend I hadn't seen in a while, getting a little lunch rush and kicking into a higher gear, munching on a still-warm bread pudding that had only had two bites out of it (so good! Should have saved more for the dish washer... oh well :P), wrapping up the day with an AMAZING burger (blend of local grassfed beef and local andouille, topped with pickled carrots and shallots, whole grain mustard, and gruyere, and a remoulade-dressed cabbage slaw... and some herbed aioli. OH MY GOD THE MEAT WAS ORGASMICALLY GOOD! I don't think I'll ever make a burger without pork sausage in it like that. MMMMMMM! Oh yeah, and it was on a house-made poppy-sesame-fennel roll! I WORK IN THE BEST RESTAURANT EVER! FUCKING A!), listening to Vampire Weekend and polishing/re-filling sugar bowls, eating a piece of King Cake (happy Mardi Gras), making $80 in tips when I only expected $60, walking to the gym and doing power yoga in the tiny meditation room, listening to a Diving In video on the Divine Openings website after doing yoga, walking home, greeting my doggie, taking a little nappy-poo for an hour, getting up and going to the bank to deposit my check from modeling along with my tips, booking it downtown to buy some chocolate and Builder's Bars in order to make change for the bus, getting to the bus about 15 seconds too late but witnessing the best circumstantial turn of events that allowed me to get on the bus (I was running towards it, I'm less than a block away and I see it start to pull out, but a taxi had turned in front of it and for a good 10 seconds or so was just sitting in front of it blocking the way! I waved at the driver as he pulled out into the street but he just looked at me and shrugged. I was like "seriously?" Then he reached a stop light and stopped right next to me! Haha! So I went up to the door and he waved me in. Perfect! I'm so glad because it was the last bus of the night! SO PERFECT! I love that I witnessed all of that unfolding just for me! <3), eating chocolate and a Builder's Bar while riding up the hill to the acting studio, working on a scene for class on Thursday, walking home and listening to Abraham while eating more chocolate, feeling my spirit lift while I listened to a recording of a woman who wanted her film acting career to take off, listening to "Happy" and then more music as I walked home, doing some window shopping on the way through Downtown, feeling some emotions move while I walked, getting home and letting Ollie explore the great outdoors, tossing his rope toy around and letting him romp after it, being asked to do a 4th semester exercise on Monday (my favorite semester! Yes!), drinking water, and re-counting all the wonderful things I encountered today. I'm so glad I'm doing this appreciation thing. It's really uplifting and making my baseline higher.
I'm going to go do my evening rave now and head to bed. Good night!
Love,
Adrienne
