November 8

It was a good Friday.

 Tonight, I am grateful for:

*This morning, leaving the gym after a 7.5 mile run, the crisp wintry air in my lungs, snow dusted ground against crimson trees and a glowing sunrise sky to start the day.

*A field trip with my students, the chance to get out of the classroom, a glimpse of a steely grey Lake Erie after lunch, conversation with a colleague on a calm bus ride home.  They may make me crazy at school but I was certainly grateful for all those cell phones on the drive today.

*A perfect Friday night with our friends, a shared meal and birthday brownies for two wonderful four-year-olds.  Our four children, playing together, throwing balloon fish and giggling like mad.  I am so grateful for the comfort and ease of time with our "chosen family".

*a fluffy clean dog, hot tea, and good TV to wind the evening down.
