Hi moggers,
Happy Valentine's Day! To get you in the mood for love, I put up a cover of the song "Valentine's Day" that I did a while back for a Will Oldham tribute album. The album is called "I am a cold rock. I am dull grass." Happy Valentine's Day to you all!

I have already broken them.
I vowed I would stop eating sugar
but on Jan 1 I found myself at the Target
grabbing the Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Kisses that had been marked down 75%
and throwing them into my basket.
I ate two before I gave them away this morning when I went to the gym.
I swore I wanted to lose weight,
but I stuffed myself like a zoo animal at the Indian Buffet today.
It’s been five hours since I last ate and I’m still not hungry.
I vowed I would start spending more time with myself
and go to Radnor Lake and walk.
But when I got there,
my ears were cold and I left after being there just ten minutes.
I vowed I would look for a job,
but every time I search
I get the nauseous feeling in my stomach
like I am veering off my path
and becoming someone other than who I am meant to be.
I vowed I would meditate every morning
but this morning I slept past seven
and barely got to the gym on time for stretch class
much less any meditation.
So far,
I don’t know why I bothered to make any resolutions at all.
Oh yeah,
I almost forgot,
I vowed I was going to be less judgmental.

Indian buffets are evil. EVIL . I credit 2 inches of my waistline to them and Chinese/Japanese/Thai buffets. SOOOOOOO delicious.
We can do it - WE CAN lose weight in 2007. But we can do it while enjoying food, too.
With all the focus on buying in this country and Christmas commercialism in general, I have been left feeling very unChristmassy. So to get myself back in to the true spirit of Christmas I decided to make a list of ten things I am grateful for.
1. Long walks in the woods in solitude.
2. My mother's improving health.
3. My ability to write music and poetry.
4. My good health.
5. No cavities at my last dental cleaning.
6. My $3 Charlie Brown Christmas tree I bought at Lowe's that now looks beautiful sitting by my fireplace all decorated.
7. The opportunity to give to people who have less than I do.
8. My dog, Trouble, who is 10 years old and still thinks he's 2.
9. Cold winter nights sitting by the fire.
10. Eggnog and homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Moggers! I'd love to hear what you are grateful for too!
xoxo,
diana

Merry Theologically Neutral Holiday Season!!!
I loved your post.. if there's something I try to impress upon my kids, it's taking a moment, at least every week, to thank God, or Alah, or Mother Nature, or whatever, for something.. anything.. some time ago, going through a divorce and some serious emotional turmoil, I started walking.. just walking, like 3 or 4 miles every morning.. and incorporated into that a list of thank-you's.. and like magic, life got better. I think as a society, we've become so cynical and oriented towards what's missing, we ignore what we have.
So, in the spirit of Christmas, I'd like to thank God for the things I already have..
1. My beautiful children.
2. My wonderful (and beautiful) fiancee.
3. The smell of the air right after a spring rain.
4. Music.
5. Garlic.
6. The good part of the internet - like this place, where people can "connect" from all over the world.
7. Animals.. dogs, cats, bears, beavers, killer whales and weasels.
8. Mountains.. and being on them on skiis after a new snow.
9. Just holding hands.
10. All my books by Hunter S. Thompson.
