the ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in
in your head, in your heart, in your soul

okay. time to start looking at the good things that have happened recently.

*brunch with the interns. we get stared at wherever we go....something about being loud? that's familiar.
*2am phone call from chuck. apparently i'm "the balls of life". i'm putting that one in my pocket and pulling it out on a rainy day. so stinking good :) there's something about our walking home talks that provoke such deep reflection.
*having everyone home! all the roomies are back and there's a joyful noise once again in my house.
*snow shoveling partners in crime!
*hanging out with monty and emilie, watching men in black and talking about life.
*getting my learning disabilities certification test over with!
*reading to the children and OWNING! they all had their own copies of the book and were supposed to be reading along, but more than half the class had put down their books, staring at me in something like awe. yes.

oh, so much love.
here comes another week, my first complete week.
time to get back into routine again.
time to start working towards the end.
all things go.
i think i'll enjoy the trip.


peace all.
