#Reverb10 Day 2

December 2 Writing.
What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it?
(Author: Leo Babauta)

Reverb10

I've joined an end of year reflection exercise many of my blogging friends are participating in. It's called Reverb10, I'll write from a different thought prompt each day.

December 1 One Word.
Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why you’re choosing that word. Now, imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2011 for you?

From John:
this is the one jacket I'm gonna be thinking of for the next
five years or so. It's made to layer with, so it's easy to wear the
raingear over it or adapt to many tempuratures or activity ranges.
Stupid durable, Special Forces types are their biggest customer
nowadays. I'd even not kvetch if I got the red one instead of the
black one...



a Mandolin- for slicing and grating vegetables

Cooking

I used to really like food, and cooking. There was accomplishment, sensation, delight in discovery. Now I just want to not be hungry. To be nourished. To have the right mix of minerals, lipids, aminos, and carbs to make my body feel great later.

It would also help if said nourishing would help me stay in a single size of pants for more than 6 months at a time.

I'm tired. Tired of not knowing. Tired of trying. Tired of struggling.

I miss the days when food was an adventure, in the early days of my adventures selling fruits and vegetables in the city. I miss it. I'm going to mourn my delight in food, and then I am going to move on.

Life is too short to make choices based not in my current reality, but in my past self-image. Life is too damn short to miss out on what delights me NOW because I'm busy trying to maintain an old flame for tasty food.

Savoring


I really enjoy having a quiet little corner on the interwebs for my personal musings.

No audience, no pressure, just an itch to write-scratched.

Today's graphic is from Momentum Magazine: the magazine for self propelled people. It's delicious. Try it.
