I don't know ...

... today, I just feel *off*. :blink:

That's all.

On the other hand ...

• I'm having a pretty nice day off ;
• It is a beautiful-weather day and I'm just getting ready to go out (though there is that *off* which is a curious way of "enjoying it") ;
• I'm healthy and fed and can afford a cup of chocolate in city-centre ;
• I enjoy reading philosophy (I'm not coerced into reading it to earn a pretentious - and useless - university degree) ;
• I have several pair of shoes -- I don't know why that is important, but still ...

There's about what to be grateful too. It's just one of those muddles that comes on and then itself goes *off*. It's funny, but the grateful is there without having to look for it. The *off* however is really evanescent. And if I kept my awareness on what is really there ... ? Perhaps that *off* is part of a much larger and broader *ON*.

:huh:

I'll let you know later ...

I am grateful I have people in my life I can be silly with and laugh uncontrollably with and who see the wonder with me of being alive
They teach me so much

I'm grateful for the people who not only tell me but show me what i mean to them by their presence in my life day to day, and for the courage they show of opening up to me and allowing me to open up to them, regardless of what may or may not come from it. It's a personal adventure that I feel is crucial to our journeys, and it gives each other all the more meaning when we take that leap and allow it to happen for us to grow.

I'm grateful that someone else has recognised that for every "rant" there's also something to be grateful for ...

Thank you, Kitsu ...

Unexpected dinner and museum strolling with friends ... It was a lovely, spontaneous night out.

Coming home : the washing up is done and my bed is made.

After too long without a home of my own I'm now a month away from having my own place again. Can't describe how good that feels
