Day 6: Grace In Small Things
- Cooking skills.
Today I felt like a tomato and bean sauce over rice. So I got a can of tomato paste, a can of chick peas, a handful of various spices and seasonings just… made it. Without a recipe. Without thinking about it. It was almost like second nature! (And it ended up being totally delicious.) … I guess all those vegetarian cooking classes I went to with my mom when I was younger paid off! - Surfthechannel.com
Between this and Windows Media Center on the desktop computer, I will never be constrained to the formal television schedule again! - Getting things done.
There is really no way around this—one of the best feelings in the world is the one I get from simply getting things done. It’s like a huge burden has been lifted off of me. - … And nailing it.
Because it feels so good to work hard at something and finally nail it—especially when that something happens to a dance routine you’ve been working on since, I don’t know, forever? - Going for a run (and not procrastinating about it).
Today I forced myself to go for a run early in the afternoon. It was sunny, and although the first four reps of my workout were a little hard, it ended up being very rewarding by the end. And just to drive the “don’t procrastinate, or else!” point home, It rained a couple hours later. I’m sure you can imagine how happy (and relieved) I was that I didn’t leave it for later in the day!
Wage a battle against embitterment and take part in 365 days of Grace in Small Things.
Ha ha, I chuckled when I read “Today I felt like a tomato…”
And then I realised that you hadn’t felt mistaken yourself for a shiny red fruit, you just felt like eating one.
Are you really going to do 359 more of these things?
Reply: I’m going to try, because I think it’s a great idea. :) Why do you ask?

Oh, and I don’t doubt your impromptu cooking skills, but check out this recipe for tomato chickpea curry, I find it fabulous every time. Mmm!
Reply: Ooh that looks so good! I will definitely try that out. Thanks for the recipe! :)
