:As part of my journey towards calm and mindful, I am trying to be aware of all the high points that are in my days. It’s sort of like being grateful and sort of like recapping what I did throughout the week.
Sunday
- Warhol exhibit at the Whitney- I appreciate his take on art and what he accomplished. (pics on my Instra- lawakinguponthewrongsideof 50
- My husband and I are on a ramen hunt: We are attempting to try as many ramen restaurants that appeared on Thrillist’s best of ramen list. We tried Mokabar which is a Korean/Japanese ramen hybrid. Very tasty.
- While walking down a street a bicyclist went by, blaring Edith Piaf from his portable speaker
Monday
- Oscar Nominated Short films- though highlight is a little bit wrong, because these films were a little depressing
- Popcorn with real butter
- Looking at planner spreads- yes- I love finding great planner ideas on Pinterest
Tuesday
- Seeing “Be More Chill” on Broadway
- Having a great Mom/Daughter date
- Delicious burger with gruyere and Dijon
Wednesday
- Going to City Bakery for Hot Chocolate Month
- organizing my bedroom shelves
Thursday
- Found a delicious new Danish bakery in my neighborhood. And no, we did not have Danish…
- Warm enough weather, and finally feeling a little better- took a walk to the park with my dog
Friday
- 20$ in coupons towards my new sneakers
- Delicious chocolate pretzel thing shared with my daughter
Saturday
- I remember my love for the Monkees. RIP Peter Tork. While his passing is not a highlight, my memories of their music is.
- My friend got a much deserved promotion
- Finished “The Red Address Book”. While I can’t recommend this book to anyone, it did have an interesting hook, and it’s another book towards my goal of 50
- Saw “Shoplifters” (nominee best foreign language) While it was my least favorite of the foreign nominees, it was still a good movie
- My Husband arrived safely to his ski destination
Sounds like you had a great week!

I’m sure you’re excited for the Oscars tonight! I wish I had seen a few more movies, but I have my favorites to cheer for.

You know…it’s funny. I love movies, but the actual Oscar telecast has gotten ridiculous. I’m very upset with the decision to not invite back last years acting winners to present awards. I feel it’s a slap in the face. It should be about movies and acting…not stars. And they’re two different things. But as I’ve seen almost everything, I do look forward to the winners!!

Some years are more fun to watch the ceremony than others. I used to have or go to a party. It’s less entertaining without voting and prizes.

My favourite Monkee was Mickey….then Davy Jones. They played here in my small Canadian city about ten years ago to a crowd of 5000 or so and I couldn’t even be bothered to go, but my 11 year old self would have been ecstatic! I probably won’t be watching the Oscars – the only part I enjoyed was the opening monologue and with no host, how will that work? I didn’t know they weren’t having last years winners back. It’s a waste of 3 plus hours, I can easily catch the highlights tomorrow. I am reading a hilariously funny book, called Help Me, by Marriane Power, about a writer who reads one self-help book a month and tries to implement it in her life. It’s a just new release, saw it at the bookstore. You might enjoy it…although I don’t know if she tries meditation.

Nice idea to keep a list like this. It reminds me of an app I had on my phone for a while that nudged me into keeping track of the good stuff. Very mindful.
