Looking forward to seeing many wonderful friends tonight
And next week, another gathering too
Wanted to set my alarm for 6:30… decided against it… woke up at 6:24 anyway. (Thank you!)
Decorating the living room… after living here for almost two years :D
A wealth of resources

The ability to be grateful anytime, anywhere
A verbal warning from the police officer yesterday (he said I entered the train tracks after the lights flashed, which would actually terrify me, so I’m thinking I didn’t)

A book idea bloomed thanks to reflecting with Sally this morning

Creativity
Again
Led a fun, playful yoga session for homeschoolers today
They are endlessly fun and interesting
not feelig like I had to ask anyone to stop talking or be different than they were- complete freedom to let them tell me about their thoughts and show everything they wanted to demonstrate
and how amazing all humans are when you do this

Getting more done this morning than I thought I would

Things coming together quickly
Another dear friend who inspired me beyond measure yesterday
Discussions around worthiness popping up everywhere
Sharing ideas with the world
Planning things out
Conversations
Free resources
The spiritual side of things
Unending help
All who have helped in some way during and after 9-11. Rescuers, friends, strangers.
Resilience of ourselves and our country
Those who do what must be done, without complaint
All the stories and love that washed over our nation afterward
The love we continue to send today, still helping, still remembering
Sharing something so deeply makes us stronger together
Honoring all who’ve fought and worked and prayed and risked their lives to help
All who have ever lived and loved, our whole messy, beautiful humanity
Loving and grateful for our own faults and virtues, our own humanness and superhuman moments
The gift of each day
