5 Things I'm Grateful for Today: #1 A warm day in November in NYC
#1 A warm day in November in NYC. We didn’t have to wear our coats and walked by the river under the bridges and a cotton candy sky.
#2 Freshly paved asphalt. I always knew it felt nice to drive over the smooth black surface of fresh asphalt, but evidently I enjoy walking on it just as much. Especially when accented by glistening white lines that shimmer opalescent in the sunlight.
#3 When something you expect to be incredibly painful ends up only stinging a little. Here’s to hoping that by the time I decide to have babies, giving birth will fall into this category.
#4 Limited edition Edy’s ice cream. In yummy flavors like Girl Scout Thin Mints, Apple Pie, and Mint Brownie Chocolate Chip.
#5 Deodorant, aftershave, mouthwash. And all those other wonderful things that ensure that most people born and raised in the US do not smell like sweaty socks ripening in a gym bag. Especially grateful for these things during rush hour on the subway.
