- My own bed. The ones at the ashram and YWCA were comfy enough, but can't beat my super comfy queen size.
- The push mower, so much nicer to use than the gas mower.
- Vegan Italiano. I've made 3 recipes from this cookbook and they've all been good.
- My gloriously cute cat. I forgot how adorable she was while I was gone.
- My mom. She seems to be really enjoying me working in the yard and cooking/baking.
- Starbucks hot chocolate.
- Friends from the Ashram so that I don't feel quite as much like I left.
- Our glorious showerhead. A good shower is my biggest criteria when I travel somewhere, so I'm glad the Ashram had a decent shower.
- Thich Nhat Hanh's book Happiness, which I'm reading right now.
- Raisins - crazy, I still love them now that I'm home. Even though I've had some sugary treats, my tastebuds are still adjusted from the Ashram.
- My final check from SLE (as a full time employee anyway). It was a nice big one since it included my bank and vacation time.
- The PVR. It's nice to catch up on the shows I missed in my own time.
- Honey Nut Cheerios, I missed you so!
- My meditation mat. I tried many different things while I was away including a great cushion that someone lent me during the Vancouver meditation group. But I still love my Yogasana rug for meditation.
- My ever growing Yoga bookcase.
- The wall hangings I bought at the Ashram for the studio. Now I just need to figure out where to hang them.
- Emails from friends, students and future students.
- That my ipod seems to have recovered. I couldn't sync it for a while so I'm glad it seems to be better now. I'd love a new ipod but I'm glad I don't need to buy one right now.
- My clothes which are looser than when I left (I continued to lose weight while at the Ashram).
- Bed at 10 pm, up at 6 am. Back to my routine.
Since I forgot the mid-month love list, I figured I'd do a Welcome Home Love List. 20 things that I'm loving about being home:
