Yesterday was a day of much mist and great stillness;I am not even half way through this exercise and although I spent much of the day in a state of gratitude & wonder I forgot to post my list. Which is I suppose a problem — dreaminess does not always help when making things material by writing them down. Lets hope that fact that I am catching up early (writing this @6 am) mitigates against my tardiness and does not invalidate the exercise.
