First, a reminder to my blog readers that though I manage to post about something true and beautiful most every day, I'm still wading through a mountain of crap a lot of the time. Do assume that taking the time to set my focus on that which is lovely helps me stay sane. Do not assume I'm sane all day, every day-- not by any stretch of the imagination. I think that a reminder of the context, the I'm-still-walking-the-edge-a-lot-of-the-time context, might put more of a shine on today's two bright moments-- moments that might otherwise appear dull beyond belief.
Today's great moments: doing my dishes and making salsa. Clearing my kitchen of dirty dishes felt inordinately satisfying today given that I'd not managed my daily discipline of clearing the sink for a few days. Making salsa felt inordinately satisfying because I have been feeling like I've been badly neglecting self-care on the home front (see dishes note, above) but discovered that I happened to have all the ingredients on hand to make a kick-ass salsa. I'd gotten an impromptu burrito dinner invitation and was asked to bring salsa. Not only were my friends impressed with what I pulled together, but I got a little reminder that I'm not as far off my rocker as I'd thought. I mean, really, how bad can it be when you can outdo even Martha Stewart (so say my friends) with a mean home-made salsa?
