in thanks: october 11, 2010

Have been a little MIA lately, as Annie would say.  And have been a little negative about / annoyingly underwhelmed by the world.  Am comitting to do more posting of "in thanks" lists!  So:

in thanks for...

* the heater at my feat
* fresh-baked bread in the kitchen, and a roommate who keeps us well-stocked
* efficient, pleasant, productive meetings
* art club with my students on mondays - my favorite day at work!
* getting grant money for work (hello, 20-foot multi-colored parachute!)
* an upcoming gig with some talented musicians
* a letter found in the tip jar beginning with, "Dear Miss Singer-songwriter,"
* wool socks, sweaters, hats
* friends who've taken big risks and ended up happy
* a loved one's parents, who acted with great love and acceptance when she came out
* the colors of the sunset, creeping back in with the fall
* a new song: "It's the last breath of summer 'fore the fall, one clear righteous hurrah.  And I'm with you, lookin' out, lookin' up - and that's all..."
* local veggies in the fridge

How many people can call Monday their favorite day? Are there many kids in the club? What makes it good?
