I've discovered something about myself. I hate gluttony. I hate overeating, I hate feeling lethargic, I hate too much sugar, I hate too much time indoors, I hate boring TV shows, I hate 'richness' whatever it is, not rich people or things, just whatever that thick, greasy, icky feeling of 'richness' is. I hate it. I hate five days of rain and ice without snow, and crappy music, and Taylor Swift singing "This Christmas" while I'm in the grocery store on a Saturday afternoon. It's all annoying, and I hate it. I hate it when people do too much or anything, or too little of anything. I hate my crappy typing, and the way I can't spell 'thesaurus' after all these years. I need a thesaurus to spell thesaurus. I hate wearing socks in bed. I hate when I wake up and someone's used up all the toilet paper and I have to get creative and think about personal hygiene at 6am before the coffee's even been made. I hate dirty dishes. I hate my vacuum. I hate fake sweeteners.
But . . .
I love stretching. I love feeling good. I love being light and happy. I love sunlight. I love birds--all of 'em. I love the esoteric. I love dimples. I love the color black. I love green tea. I love carrots. I love cats. I love my dog. I love being outside. I love old movies. I love writing. I love chap-stick. I love 1970s soul music. I love The Beatles. I love Bob Dylan. I love Chris Isaak. I love cooking shows. I love Levi's. I love Beck. I love sea seat. I love coffee. I love driving in my car with the windows open listening to Keane. I love my kids. I love museums. I love Picasso. I love laughing. I love cake. I love pranks. I love wine. I love lakes. I love mascara. I love pianos and guitars. I love cussing (in my head). I love my bed (and rhyming). I love my books. I love my friends. I love to sing Freddy Mercury. I love road trips. I love being on stage. I love records. I love books.
I love you guys.
It evens out. Almost.
This might have all been fueled by Excedrin. If you read it, thanks.
The worst post I've ever written. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteYour loves and hates balance out well, Amy. Miserable weather like we have had the past two days makes me think about what I hate, but when the days are sunny and bright, I am reminded of my blessings.
ReplyDeleteI hope all the days ahead will now be sunny for you (and me)!
DeleteThe first two of your 'loves' are possibly my favourites. That wonderful feeling of stretching and feeling great (especially first thing in the morning) is the best feeling of all.
ReplyDelete*Smile* *Stretch* Yes, it's the best! A day without stretching is slightly miserable.
DeleteBut, you know, I find it difficult to get things 'just right'! And I just figured out what I did wrong today -- I forgot to stretch! Somehow a stretch sitting typing my comment to you isn't quite the same as first thing in bed -- though it's better than nothing!
ReplyDeleteYou gotta do it : ) Stretching doesn't replace coffee, but it helps. Thanks for stopping by!
