1. God
2. Summer days
3. Road trip with Cassie, Charlene and Richard
4. to a part of Massachusetts where I haven’t been, the south coast
5. Street fair
6. and the town’s library, not having seen anything like it nor knew what I was seeing at the time
7. then the Unitarian church, and the guide who pointed out so many of the details to me in the stained glass, pew carvings, altar, that I would have overlooked
8. Picnic on the bay with sandwiches and fruit that Cassie packed
9. Seeing the whaling museum which had special resonance since I’d recently read Moby-Dick and learning a lot about our nation’s early history in the process
10. Driving through the countryside, observing vineyards, farmland, farmhouses, rivers
11. A public beach at the road’s end

grateful for errors
Very Grateful for:
God’s patient correction
finding the error of pronunciation in my video before I uploaded it
and the error in a paper before I submitted it
and the error in one of my citations
learning to be ok with errors
Mom being transferred from ICU to a room
knowing she will get to go home upon her discharge, alleviating the worry of other options pending
recognizing that I went an hour without persistent worry
getting my chipped tooth fixed
making a nice grilled cheese sandwich on garlic bread with a bit of fresh basil
Many people lose the small joys in the hope for the big happiness. ~Pearl S. Buck
1. God
2. Corrections

9. Not having to wait for the end (to get to the next thing)
