Gratitude

A lot to feel grateful for lately (in list form to avoid any potential melodrama):

  • I found a new apartment....right next door to one of my best friends.  I've always lived with a roommate, so this will be my first time completely on my own.  I am looking forward to peace and quiet, and doing things on my own terms at all times.  However, should I get even a tad lonely or bored, Rachel is next door!
  • Yesterday was National Teacher Appreciation Day.  I feel blessed to have had some of the most amazing human beings as my teachers, all of whom took an active role in nurturing me, shaping me, and empowering me to be whoever I want and all that I can.  I am also lucky to be surrounded by fellow teacher friends who commit their day, every day, to ensuring that the next generation makes this world a better place than when they entered it.  I am thankful to be in such company.  The responsibility is great, but my desire is greater.
  • This weekend we'll be celebrating CADC's 20 year anniversary.  In a community where new teams pop up like pimples on a teenager's face, I am proud to have been part of an organization where history, tradition, and longevity are among our best qualities.
  • Much. Needed. Date. Night. On. Thursday.
  • Mike D'Antoni resigned as the Lakers coach.  Now if there was only some way to negate Phil Jackson's deal with the Knicks and bring him back to LA...
  • Last, but certainly not least... While I won't get into the details, my sister recently (as in 2 days ago) found our long-lost cousins whom we haven't seen or had contact with in over 15 years.  The last we knew, they moved to the East Coast with their mom (their dad is our dad's brother), and communication was cut off.  Through fate's diligence and God's work, we found them.  I know that it'll be a slow transition to (hopefully) rebuilding a relationship with them, but I am hopeful and trust in the idea that we were brought together again for a purpose.  
Oh, happy day, my friends.
