Today I'm grateful for anything that helps me live in the present moment, especially those enjoyed by the senses. Sound, taste, smells, sight, touch...
The good thing about the senses is that even if one is presently unavailable or unstimulated, there are still other senses to enjoy.
Color is nice. Music is nice. The taste of tea with sugar is a few moments of heaven. So are the words of a nice person. Or the smell of burning incense or palo santo seducing my nostrils. Or being in the arms of someone I like or love or lust for. Or the feel of certain clothes on my skin or the air or sun on my skin. Or the way certain images make my brain dance. Dance is great too!
Also grateful for a super awesome mug I found at a thrift store out of town for crazy cheap.
Maybe being alone more often has been good for me. On some level maybe I've craved solitude because I'm trying to return to myself. My truest innermost self, not my outer social self, or the self that is influenced in any way by others. I have a good personality in here and I've missed being alone with my delightful mind.
