Gratitude list...

14 November 2025: So much on my mind at the end of a long week that took an unexpectedly sad turn. As I sit here tonight, I am focusing on gratitude. 

Grateful for friends who show up, listen to me, and make me laugh. 

Grateful for students who responded with understanding and kindness and even concern. 

Grateful for work that I love that keeps me distracted when times are tough and keeps me around people who make me feel good.

People are beautiful and it's a privilege to be around them.
