I am tired tonight, so listing things that I found joy in today will be a challenge.  However, that is the challenge I set up for the week, so…

On this second Monday in March I am grateful for:

• a warm sunny day and the promise of spring
• watching a film of the CSI ‘bunny murder’ case featuring my funniest student
• my students, as always, making me laugh and love what I do
• Panera Bread french onion soup & chicken salad on semolina
• the piano and sax jazz playing in Panera while I ate my dinner
• books:  I am still reading and loving– A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson and two new ones:  one memoir and one on relationships [since I am perpetually confounded]
• the smell of books and coffee in Barnes & Noble
• a clean house
• a cooperative child [for one day;)]

..and I am off to bed to read.
