Less than twenty-four hours after making that list, I've had the kind of eventful day that makes me feel a little less of that notion that I wrote about last night. Outside of the usual suspects (Brodie, Mary, Mom, Lost in Translation, Moonrise Kingdom, etc.), I'm having a little trouble finding gratitude for new and wonderful things. I'm reminded of a story my fourth grade French teacher told me (or maybe it was the climax of a fable or a parable or an allegory or some other literary bullshit) where someone was wished to live in interesting times. Today was interesting times. Maybe I'll feel more centered and secure and pleased with things tomorrow. For now, I just am.
I wish Brodie were here tonight.
