I worked really hard this week. But now, oh Saturday, you've arrived and I plan on taking full advantage of my [most likely] last Saturday before I start working. The thing is, it's nasty outside! The trees are howling in the wind, crumpling leaves billow up into the air, and I'm pretty sure it's like 20 degrees F outside. Yeah. Cold.
And that is why this slacker is thankful for a few cozy comforts this morning:
1: Tazo's Zen Green Tea. I not only love this tea because of the marvelous implication of the name, I love it for its hints of lemon and mint. This has been a comfort tea of mine for some time now. NOTHING beats it in the morning when I want something warm, but light, flavorful but not too sweet or overbearing. ZEN. It's magical.
2: Over-the-knee knitted socks. I think I would die this winter without these puppies. I own various pairs of thigh-high socks in various colors and textures and they all feel awesome underneath jeans in the cold. I recommend them. Plus they're cozy to lounge around in. Super cute.
3: This song. Another comfort of mine for years, but it holds extra weight this weekend. I've loved the Gorillaz forever. Really. Forever. So yesterday when someone told me that they heard this Gorillaz song and it reminded them of me, it made my day. I'm a happy clam because of it. I mean, how could you not be happy if someone says a song called "Feel Good Inc" reminds them of you? That's pretty much my ultimate goal in life, to spread goodness and joy. It's awesome to hear I'm reaching that!
4: Labradorite. According to this website, Labradorite encourages prophetic dreams and guidance. It's true. Last night I slept with Labradorite by my head and had a dream I was asking my sister-in-law how much banana bread she had left in the freezer, because I really, really wanted to eat some. This morning when I woke up, she had pulled out a loaf! The Labradorite showed me breakfast in my dream!! I'm sorry, I don't mean to make light of the qualities of Labradorite; I really do appreciate its healing powers and beauty. But I'm a goofball and thought that bread dream was funny. And I love my new Labradorite slab. It sort of has the shape of mountains and I really like that. It called to me. [I went to a store with my friend yesterday, and we spent an hour looking at crystals, stones, jewelry, tapestries, and a bunch of other hippie stuff. I love it. It's nice to have a friend that's into that stuff! I was starting to think I was all alone.]
5: Citrine: The Stone of Manifestation. It converts negative energy into positive energy. It helps attract and keep money. It aids in meditation and connecting with the higher Self. It encourages happiness, laughter, and good sleep. Read more about it here. Overall, citrine is a valuable crystal to have. Again, it called to me. Once I picked up the little chunk that was eyeing me, I knew we'd never be apart. I placed it in my palm and immediately felt a light calm come over me. I'm so glad I picked up the healing stones. I think it was time. The Universe has been screaming at me a lot lately, actually, and I'm trying really hard to listen well.
And that's what I'll be doing today. I may get some coffee from the shop a little later with a friend. But for the most part I'll be hanging out with music, warm socks, and crystals.
How do you like to spend lazy Saturdays?
