Watch Hill, Rhode Island

Went to this beach today. So beautifully perfect.

Finished reading A Good Year by Peter Mayle. 5 stars, hands down (maybe I'll actually write a review on it..).

I'm also loving the videos on YogaJournal.com. I've been doing the morning sequence every day since it's only 20 minutes long. Add a cup of a coffee and it's a great way to start a day!

My time here is just flying by, and I can hardly believe I'm only here for 4 more days.

I Am

I am (lovely)

I wonder about orchids (and how they grow)

I hear music (all the time)

I see pink (all around people)

I want coffee (smooth and full)

I am (lovely)

I pretend to be a ballerina (twirling around)

I feel calm (always at sunset)

I touch my ring (and feel secure)

I worry about you (but understand)

I cry regularly (for my soul)

I am (lovely)

I understand Anne Elliot (very deeply)

I say it's fine (and it's mostly true)

I dream irregularly (and it's not ok)

I try to play piano (but often fail)

I hope to be content (with all my heart)

I am (lovely)

Dolce far niente...

Luca Spaghetti: “Americans. You work too hard, you get burned out. You come home and spend the whole weekend in your pajamas in front of the TV.”Liz: “That’s not far off, actually.”
Luca Spaghetti: “But you don’t know pleasure. You have to be told you’ve earned it. You see a commercial that says: ‘It’s Miller Time!’ And you say, That’s right, now I’m going to buy a six pack.And then drink the whole thing and wake up the next morning and you feel terrible.But an Italian doesn’t need to be told. He walks by a sign that says: You deserve a break today. And he says, Yes, I know. That’s why I’m planning on taking a break at noon to go over to your house and sleep…with your wife!”Giovanni: “We call it “dolce far niente”, the sweetness of doing nothing.”

Which is why I'm going to read 'A Good Year' by Peter Mayle (who, by the way, is becoming one of my absolute favorite authors) on the beach and drink my peach iced tea all afternoon.
