--good people. last night, my wallet fell out of my purse at a bar (i wasn't drunk, it just fell off the chair...), but i didn't realize it until this morning. and sure enough, when i called this afternoon, someone had turned it in and they kept it for me until i got off work in the evening. and everything was there. and to top it off, the bartender that gave it back who had glanced at my i.d. to see if there was a phone number or anything, was from cedar rapids, ia! so, i even got to meet a fellow iowan out of the deal. the news is full of people doing horrible things to each other, so it's nice to appreciate something small like this.
--this video, combining two of my most current interests, mindfulness/being present and neuroscience:
building attention
(can someone teach me how to put the video itself on here, instead of just the link to it?)
--meeting new people who lead me to new things. there are few things more exciting, fun, life-giving, sexy, whatever, than someone that reminds me how much world there is to know. i love meeting and knowing people and learning about what they read, listen to, and think. it's a huge reason for writing this blog: the comments and recommendations i get from those who read it.
--a time of year when the same songs are playing everywhere you go, everyone knows them, and they're songs that would otherwise be hated by many people, but most are willing to let it slide for the season. there's something about getting 'oh holy night' stuck in your head for the 23rd year in a row that makes you a little happier, whether you like it or not.
--finally getting to try the tiramisu at the restaurant. totally lives up to the hype.
