I am grateful for getting to have lunch with my former student (now a physician) and her family.  Her daughter is smart and looks just like her mom.  I am grateful for a wonderful new group of friends in my memoir class.  What fun to hang out at The Living Room!

I am grateful for a warm spring day.

I am grateful for another day with my college students and a night reading scenes from my fellow students in my memoir class.

I am grateful for my wonderful students and their thoughtful responses on our ethics  topics discussions.

I am grateful for a wonderful visit with a former student, for a video of my grandson taking first steps, for a great vacation, and for renewed energy to enjoy the rest of the semester.

I am grateful for a wonderful afternoon in the Pan Garden learning about Kafka and Wittgenstein.  Being, not being kept coming up in my head, but I let it go.

I am grateful for a day of sending off my children’s book manuscript and then spending some time with my daughter and grandsons.

I am grateful for my lovely friend who is mentoring me through the process of getting my children’s book published.  I am grateful for my memoir class and all the people I am getting to  know through their writing and our dinners afterwords. I am grateful for the times I get carried away writing and suddenly realize it is after midnight.

I am grateful for the outstanding author who is helping me submit my Halloween Children’s Book to publishers.  I am grateful I was able to put in the drip system, bark, and a few California natives and succulents in the strip between my neighbors’ house and mine.  I am grateful for a 7 am writing session at San Diego Writer’s Ink. I am grateful I found time to get the appraiser here today for my refi. I am grateful that all these activities make me  a good tired and I feel I am getting my energy back.  I am grateful for a catch up call from my son tonight.

I am grateful for finding great pictures of my grandparents.  I am grateful for having a garden.  I am grateful for the beautiful blue ceanothus lining the road on my way to Ramona.
