I figure this is a particularly choice time to express my gratitude for some luxuries and creature comforts: agua potable, a roof over my head, freedom of speech, blah blah blah... I think you could have guessed those. In no particular order, a few more to consider:
- what's left of my waning metabolism
- yoga
- chocolate
- funny, creative friends
- dogs
- commercial airlines
- literacy
- the nose as an alternative to the mouth for breathing
- car seat heaters
- chapstick
- free, fast WiFi (when available)
- music I can dance to
- The small, cheap rotating fan I purchased from Bed, Bath, and Beyond (with their 20% off mailer coupon, naturally) that I aimed at my face all summer
- The Postal Service (not the band)
- sex
- parking meters that now accept debit/credit cards
- Duran Duran (um, have you listened to "Ordinary World" lately?)
- efficient public transportation
- my cameras… also, that Eastern European website that sells the 127 film I need for my old-school Brownie Holiday
- warm, ambient light sources
- dental floss
- Hazelpoint
- my unexpectedly green thumb
- cheap sunglasses
- attractive, comfortable shoes (well, really any attractive, comfortable clothing item)
- life, however long or confusing it ends up being
