appreciating the little things

November 8, 2009

I thought it was a good time to focus my eye on appreciating some of the little pleasures in my life… hope you’ll add your pleasures to my list.

  • sleeping more (who am I kidding, that’s not a little pleasure at all.  It’s huge!)
  • the brilliant red, bright yellow, and blazing gold of the fall leaves.  In the field across the street, the dropping oak leaves make it look like it is raining gold.
  • It’s soup season, and I had a bowl of it almost everyday this week. 
  • Fabulous weather: perfect light, perfect temps, give me more. 
  • a weekend day of doing nothing.  Love it when no one expects me to be anywhere at any particular time, and I don’t have to work and anything that gets done is gravy. 
  • a little boy who just cracks me up.  all day long (and a big boy who does, too).

    Sounds a lot like my gratitude list lately. This weather is freaking gorgeous. And so’s my little girl ;-)

What does it mean to be beautiful in America? For years, pop culture has insisted that beautiful women are tall, thin, and blonde. So what do you do if your mirror reflects olive skin, raven hair, and a short build? Hijas Americanas: Beauty, Body Image, and Growing Up Latina offers a provocative account of the struggles and triumphs of Latina forced to reconcile these conflicting realities. Rosie Molinary combines her own experience with the voices of hundreds of Latinas who grew up in the US navigating issues of gender, image, and sexuality. This empathetic ethnography exemplifies the ways in which our experiences are both profoundly individualistic and comfortingly universal.
