grateful for. . .

Two weeks in a row remembering to list my favorites from the week. . . maybe this will become a habit.


1: The mandatory, our office only, 4:15p meeting today with the Dean's Chief of Staff turned out to be about nothing all of us didn't already know.

2: Literacy training. Loving it and excited to receive a placement. Reminded how much the love of learning is a part of my core - both my own learning and witnessing others learn. And that we can learn from people of all abilities.

3: Flexibility. This week I said thank you more than once for the ability to choose how I spend my time. Looking forward to the work day tomorrow at Clare's Well.

4: Friends listening to what brings them joy and staying true to what they hear, even if it means making changes during uncertain times.

5: Starting a "travel" savings account.

6: Finding a journal from college and making two realizations: 1) Observing life and writing insightfully about it is a skill I've honed for a while and 2) I've worked hard to make positive changes in my life.

7: My nephew, Andrew, is healing after receiving first-third degree burns on both arms from an accident with hot oil at work. He's in pain and expressing it to his parents, but it could have been much worse.
