Just meditating on my upcoming retirement! Very excited and grateful for 26 years of being a teacher and now ready to open a new chapter of my life!!!
I will have more time to do what I want to do - still working, just not teaching :-)

I'm grateful for the basics today, I have my health, a job, a house, caring and loving family, and an extended community.
I don't take these things for granted as much as I used to (before the COVID-19 pandemic).

Jerrilee supported me with love and compassion when I couldn't stop crying in grief over my loss.
She helped calm me and helped me be kinder to myself by explaining that grief and loss and crying are all acceptable behaviors. I got through the episode and believe I will be able to calm myself. If not, I am grateful for a friend I can rely on.

She recited these lines of 13 Corinthians at my dear friends memorial service. The words describe Amy perfectly: 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
It filled my heart with joy.

My husband is loving, helpful, and so understanding. He finds small ways to show that he loves me. Tonight, he went to get dinner for me so I didn’t have to cook!
I didn’t have to cook and make a mess in my clean kitchen. I also got to relax sooner.

I brought bagels to Sylvia to talk about setting up a way of receiving extra help from her and how I have been embracing Sylvia's love language of touch and of gifts.
It feels good to know how important this is to her and how happy it makes her to give these things to me.

the sun is shining and I am looking at nature!
The sun is uplifting as is nature! Even the snow! It was sparkling on my walk this morning!

ERICA is the leader of a class I am taking; she is so careful with her words and she listens so deeping
I feel seen and thus more accountable for my feeling, the pain in my body, the actions I take.

Thank you to the landlord and his crew for giving me a new kitchen light with fan yesterday for my birthday.
I haven't thanked them yet but will do so very soon. The new kitchen light will help my tutor out, and the fan will be good for when we're cooking.

Enjoyed some feelings of delight and satisfaction tonight while reading through some past entries of things since forgotten. Grateful for having recorded positive experiences that although each is small in itself, together they show that on balance life has been good.

Although they are now many miles away, grateful for the text, email and phone communications technology that has enabled and facilitated communications with my siblings.
Life most definitely would feel so much more lonely without this regular interaction.

I’m participating on a database implementation team. This week we spent many, many hours validating data.
Seen, appreciated, validated for the commitment and time that I’m dedicating to this project. It also reinforced my appreciation of my colleague.
