Tonight, I am grateful for:

2. understanding that my unprovoked tears are simply the result of hormones.
3. being able to provide meaningful input in a high-level meeting yesterday. I was surprised to be invited to participate in the first place and concerned that my perspectives on the issue at hand could be a bit narrow but the person who invited me did so because I’m “smart and not afraid to tell them what is wrong with the system!” And so I did!
4. a long weekend ahead.
5. hugs among friends. 1 day ago
