Gratitude Fuel

13 April 2025: I've got a big thing coming up tomorrow afternoon. Something that I am worried about doing but know I have to do. And so much else is hard and bleak in our world. 

Thus I am so profoundly grateful for all the moments this weekend offered me that made me happy or realize how lucky I am this. Yesterday: Relay for Life, lunch and a movie with Amy. Today: seeing one of my favorite students (yes, there are many who fit that label) play in her one of her last home softball games and then seeing the Rude Mechanicals put on their productions of student-written plays. (This was also Betty's last show before retirement. Genuinely moved beyond measure by that.) Then sharing a draft for what I have to say tomorrow and getting reassuring feedback from some of my most cherished colleagues. My cup runneth over. 

So this gratitude is nourishing and well-timed. And it's fuel for tomrrow.
