It is a grey day and Sunday ... to celebrate the greyness and lowness of the mood, I started with my usual and favorite 'Survivor' spinning class - proudly called ‘Sunday Service’ and proudly being claimed that it's the hardest class at Soul-Cycle, which is already pretty reputable for a hardcore indoor cycling workout. I walked out of the class, at least I myself felt … I KILLED it, LOVED it - happily acknowledged I had the energy for it.
Then I went back to the greyness, on the phone with a friend for an hour - trying really hard not to be too negative - despite she is a very close friend of mine, too much negatives are too much negatives to anyone.
Came home and had a hot shower - which I rely on my hot shower a lot, especially when I feel down or sick - it has been saving me from many wrong decisions/doings for decades of my life.
If one perfect day I could think for indulging myself with my beloved Tteokbokki, today is THE DAY. I LOVE Tteokbokki . You do not even know how much I LOVE Tteokbokki . I just REALLY REALLY LOVE it. I went for Usual Pul-Mu-Won Soupy Tteokbokki . I LOVE the soupy kind of Tteokbokki. It was particularly yummy today.
Then I decided to color my nails that I know it has been a while, sometimes it takes some good mood to do so - I DIY my mani/pedi for almost 6 years now. I have never liked sitting at the nail salon for it, doesn’t matter how good or bad they are. It was always feeling like something I have to do, not want to do. I went for GREEN today. I have many different tones of Green nail polishes, but this one, yes, this is the TOP green I LOVE the most as of today.
I know I will skip dinner - I do not like eating late, late lunch-then-no dinner is my formula for eating since I was a teenager - Tteokbokki was my late lunch. In this case, I still have my favorite ‘Favorite Day Non-Dairy Vanilla Cake & Cookie Dough Ice Cream’. I have been sticking with this for almost 6 months now. I LOVE it.
My dear friend, Dr. Loosen Riesling is accompanying me now. This half glass of Riesling will do me nice and easy and I hope to have a better night sleep than last night.
As I am writing this down … realizing I tag the word 'LOVE' onto so many things, I have much to love and cherish, just in the simplicity of loving. It just does not have to be always about making every second of life ‘meaningful’. What I love in that very moment, is the joy in the present, even if it is a grey day and Sunday …
