* portland rock gym within walking distance

* spooky sunset skies

* the glorious big fat almost full moon, tonight

* perseid meteor shower peaking

* rabbits and the barred owl visitors to the courtyard

* little delicate nuthatches and red house finches and playful crows

* having time to help a friend pick up her kitty

* cloud cover after a string of hot days, a little sprinkle of summer rain

* morning mini workouts with josh

* blackberries and elderberries and mint from Pixie's property

* an abundance of healthy food

* healthy meals of pan seared vegetables or fresh fruit or salad rolls with black rice and tofu and homemade peanut sauce (shh don't tell Josh)

* fresh summer basil

* connecting with the most beautiful people while sparkling (my friend Iris told me about a new circus space I was not aware of, it might work as a place for Uli and friends to do partner acro)

* the barista at Barista (ha) giving me a free sample of ube foam after my massage who totally made my day

* all the people who were kind and courteous to me while i was riding my bike today, the bunny ear helmet compliments are always a plus

* the Ned Flanders bridge

* that I can get a massage whenever I need one

* ponderosa pine lip balm

* lemon thyme hydrosol

* natural handmade tinted sunblock with propylis and subalpine fir oil

* finally got to start What We Do In The Shadows with Finley, watched the first two episodes of Season 4 on my own

* being married

* my stats at the doctor's office - seeing that always perks me up a bit: Blood pressure 110/70, BMI 19.92, Weight 131lb (with shoes on btw), Height 5'8", Pulse 50, O2 Saturation 99%, BSA 1.69 m2 (BSA is a new one for me, I'm still not totally sure what it means, apparently it's a "better" indicator of health to weight ratio than BMI, but I'm in the "normal" range for it anyway, average is 1.6 for women but I dunno if it's good to be higher or lower? I'm closer to a male average but not wildly out of bounds in any way.)

* my little orange and black "bite me" batty undies from victoria's secret that just arrived in the mail

* the first blush of pink on the white hydrangeas

* plants with pink on them in general

* my new rainbow towel, and my little batty blanket

* the way sitting on mom's legacy bench that i got for her at the park feels a little bit like being held, in a way

* cazedores (I'm not drinking today but I'm just glad good tequila exists really)

* josh's encouragement over me working on my passport application

* the soda stream endless supply of bubbly water

* the purple sweet potato ube latte from Portland Ca Phe

* finding shade under trees on hot days

* the way my black hoodie soaked up the heat from the sun and warmed my back so cozily on a breezy cool bike ride

* lime slices in my water

* listening to convenant while applying henna to my hair

* hot coffee in the mornings, slow morning walks with the cat

* my toaster oven (it was my mom's. it is so appreciated and loved.)

* ghost art, spooky art in general (Market of the Beast is this Sunday, I might try to go)

* the warmth and security of knowing that i'm loved and cared for

* the fact that as I get older, I'm more aware of how real it is that any day could be my last, so I don't hesitate to use the fancy soap in the shower, or the nice skin cream, or the extra pretty eyeshadow. and to tell people i love them.

* the way finley purrs when his skin is under my fingers

* the way lunar head butts and nuzzles and scampers alongside me when we walk together

* a safe, warm, protected place to sleep
