Happiness and gratitudes:


• Feeling near to faraway friends when I reread a book that we have shared.

• Walking tall; sitting tall; how good it feels to feel the full measure of one's height.

• Misty days and nights.

• Seeing sisters together.

• One very fresh blueberry bagel.

• How deeply the grass has greened already. All this rain.

• The other four senses.

• My culture theory classmates.

• Seeing my peers take care of one another.

• And keeping these words near the surface of my thoughts.

• Memories of Sydney.

• That my replacement ID cost only $10 instead of $20—because it didn't print perfectly—and that it has a good new picture commemorating a day when I was happy.

• Momentum.

  1. This is a good list. Thank you for sharing! It made me smile, because a lot of that is in my life right now, too. Like the grass and the sisters. Now I'm wishing for a bagel. ;)

  5. Great verse.

    Btw, do you remember that I had to climb in through the window of the Kilby house every time I wanted to get in the last 2 months of school cuz I was too cheap to buy a new id???
