~ I ~
inspiration - there is so much inspiration out in the world. Sometimes I don't see it...maybe I don't want to see it. But more and more I see it...and I really do feel it coming to me more in the last year. I am very blessed to receive it and see it all sorts of forms.
Italian food - something we might be having tomorrow night for our anniversary! I really love pasta and just the flavors that come from Italian cooking...olive oil, garlic, basil I think are 3 staples of my cooking. So I am grateful to all the flavorful Italian food I have eaten and hope to eat for a long long time.
identity - I am grateful to know who I am....and not be afraid to acknowledge this is who I am.
integrity - Integrity is something we talk about a lot in the lifestyle and really I became pessimistic about it for a while. I guess though now I do see people who have integrity. And I appreciate them and for giving me faith in people again.
Internet - Well this one I am thankful for otherwise I wouldn't have been able to be even posting this fine list! I am very thankful for the Internet. I have met some amazing people via the Internet....including Master so I am grateful for it.
intercourse - Sex...well yes I am thankful for sex. It releases endorphins that make me feel great, it gives me touch that I crave, it satisfies sexual cravings and just so many other things....I am thankful for intercourse.
icons - I mean icons on livejournal...an obsession that I started I guess almost 2 years ago. I like creating icons. It is a fun creative outlet....they allow me to express feelings in that little 100 x 100 pixel box
improvement - Always room for improvement and I am thankful for just growing and moving forward.
imperfect - I am grateful to be imperfect which kind of goes with the above one of improvement. But really why I am listing it is because I don't like things to be perfect. Especially when creating art. I don't measure. I don't want things even and perfect. I want things to just be as is...flawed, messy and beautiful in that.
India ink - I really like what India ink can do on paper. I am thankful for its inspiration, it movement, its feel from harsh to soft.
iconology - The word iconography literally means "image writing." And it something I have always enjoyed. I look at images and try to see their meaning, intent and significance. I especially enjoy looking at the symbols in religious iconology.
ice cream - yum! I am thankful for the cold cream treat! Ben and Jerry's Brownie Fudge is my favorite store bought in a carton. But Cold Stone Creamery is my absolute favorite. And I don't have a favorite mix or flavor I just go with what sounds good in the moment.
(short list I did this list on Tuesday but forgot to post it so posting it Wednesday but back dating it to Tuesday)
Short list, long list, posted Tuesday or posted Wednesday to look like Tuesday, no worries, remember no rules.
ReplyDeleteSo here it is Saturday and I've just spent a wonderful 20 minutes catching up with you! Happy Anniversary! I can't wait to read "Tipping the Velvet" now I know what to use my Barnes&Noble gift card on. I agree, what's up with hotlinking? I always save what I want to use to my computer, anything else feels like stealing. I don't get it either!
Yum, Italian food! Integrity is so important in every facet of our lives. Cool, I didn't realize you created icons, I wondered and now I know. I enjoy looking at them, hmmm, maybe I'll give it a go!
Great list, great posts! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
**Big Hugs**
