Today, I’m so very grateful:
- That my mom is super chill. Because she arrives in a few hours and I have a dryer in my living room, no washing machine, no clean sheets or towels, dog hair everywhere, and a stack of papers to grade.
- That we can, at least, borrow the washer and dryer in the neighbor’s garage.
- For letting it all go.
- For accidentally making extra coffee.
- That I saw lots of folks biking to work for Bike to Work Day. I wish we would all do that every day, but it’s a start. I don’t work today, so I’m not participating, but I’m glad it’s a thing.
Thank you.

I was so very grateful:
- For my transgendered cousin coming out publicly on her old FB page on her birthday. I cared for her and changed her diapers as a baby, so it has been a mental shift for me to start saying “she” but I’m so proud of her and happy that she is standing up for her true self – and that lots of good people look out for her and help keep her safe. ♥
- For my sense of humor.
- That I finally took time to clear out the fridge and cook.
- For my favorite cabbage dish and ice cream for dessert.
- For kind words from a student, who actually gets what I’m doing in the classroom. ♥
Thank you.

I was so very grateful:
- That most of the time, I am headache and jaw-pain free.
- That the handyman came and fixed our blind and the water-heater shed and moved out dryer for us. We didn’t get the washing machine, but at least something changed.
- That it cooled off.
- For a big class of yogis, lots of return clients, and some blissed out smiles at the end of it.
- For a skunk-free evening walk
Thank you.
