Something to Sing About

Image by ecstaticist via FlickrRemember, I am trying to cultivate and attitude for gratitude(insert chessy smile here).Seriously, I love lists and could(but won't) do this everyday. It is one of the easiest way for me to organize my thoughts these days. It's been one those weeks(on top of weeks) were I have felt a little rundown and frazzled. It is really easy to slip in complain mode(nothing wrong with that) but that rarely does me any good.
As, I was thinking about this list- I thought about this scene in Amelie. While, I won't be running my hands through any beans today, I am thankful for those little pleasures that life affords.


Awww, I've digressed enough....
What a singing list, you ask?
A singing list is quite simple- people, place, things and/or ideas that are happening and making my heart sing!


My List is Below(in no particular order)
- This huge and gorgeous blue sky outside my window. It looks so amazing. I could fall into it.
- Good avocados(the last of the summer, I presume)
- Fall in the air.
- Some pleasure reading.
- black shoes. Yes, I have too many of these but they really are all different. They take me where I need and want to go and that is something.
- routine. As ungrounded as I have felt, I am thankful for the small everyday rituals of life that add some resemblance of sanity.You know-making the bed, getting coffee, talking with my mom, reading, prayers, homework, friends, and work.
- Geese in flight.
- Luna bars for breakfast. A life saver.
- Eating with your hands. It may be the best thing about summer. Although, gelato is second on that list.
- Lately, I have been listening to Madeleine Peyroux. Her music is perfect for curling up with a steaming cup of tea.
- Pockets of stillness.
- Afternoon tea breaks.
-This moment here because its fleeting and beautiful.

What's on your singing list these days?
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Peace,
