Appreciations for 09/02/10

*The quiet of this classroom... I am the first one here... 45 minutes early. It's calm. It's cool. It's peaceful. NICE! *Laughing at the absurdity of paying TWENTY dollars for a "textbook" for one of my classes. The "textbook" is a stack of papers, about 150 pages high, that is a collection of copied excerpts from email, internet searches, etc. Really?!!! *Watching my favorite show with my best friend until late in the night (or early in the morning, depending who you ask) and sharing our opinions about it. *An afternoon gathering with women yesterday that ended up being fulfilling and informational. *Remembering old memories, suddenly, and feeling curious. ~ I am grateful for my life!
