The Happy List, Week ending 23/8/09
August 23, 2009
Acland Street, St Kilda by ilamya on Flickr
- Being a tourist in my home city: my first (and second) visits to Sweatshop this week. They play very funky music there
- A sunny Sunday afternoon: Acland Street, St Kilda. Lunch with a lovely friend, and then new shoes. Yes, another pair. On sale for $30. Yayyyy!
- Champange and talking till one in the morning
- Sleep. This week, this week I will get enough of it. I will!
- Baking banana and honey muffins and listening to Bloodbank by Bon Iver. Over and over and over again
- Getting my morning coffee the next day and…my coffee guy was playing Bloodbank! Great taste, that guy
- Teaching an awesome restorative yoga workshop on Saturday. Everyone looked so relaxed afterwards!
- Meeting a delightful fellow blogger, and mama goddess
- Knowing that life is going to settle into a rhythm soon. One that involves more rest. I will make it so
- Friends
- Skype
- Renting movies off Itunes, which means not having to leave the house or get out of my pyjamas
- Cooking a big pot of nutritious stew, for tonight, and for the nights this week when I will be home too late to cook. I feel more nourished already
- The after effects of this week’s kinesiology session. I suspect they warrant a separate post
- Filling out a pain questionnaire at the doctor’s after my last back injections, and then seeing the comparison to how high my pain levels were when I first started the treatment
- Knowing that today is perfect, just as it it. Even if I sometimes wish it to pass, or for the future to come faster
- Being able to honestly say that although I have made mistakes, I honestly don’t regret a thing. I have learnt from every experience, and I am more able to be myself than ever before
- Giggling at the fact that tight yoga pants, and bendiness, so frequently come up when people find out I am a yoga teacher. Apparently it’s not about spirituality at all…

Nadine – I love your happy lists!! You are inspiring me to start weekly gratitude again! Thank you for your enthusiasm and openness. You are such a delight! xx
isn’t it amazing, thankachi, how much more spacious we feel when we stop carrying a huge load?
I also see a kineseologist for my back — I can’t tell you what he does, it just works! I believe he truly is a medical intuitive.
shanti!
Mmmmmmm Trampoline, my favourite treat in St Kilda
