Is there anything better than supper?

Today was full of grace. Rise'n'Shine time came a little late, and sometimes that poisons my morning with guilt. But today, ease was with me. Much thanks a spinach and cheddar waffle (try it!), and much thanks to a conversation w/ Mallie about possibly creating a documentary together for our class projects (my Citizenship in a Global Era class and her Documentary Filmmaking course). It could be a dynamic twist of fate, or just an idea for the future. Earlier this week, my professor totally blew my mind when she explained that the Research Paper component was... merely a suggestion. We could create a blog, a curriculum unit, a documentary, a _______, a, a, a__________. Whatever is most relevant to our career goals. Amazing. I'm super torn between a dozen sparkling possibilities, but want to settle on something that will be useful - and not just A+ worthy. I'm over teacher-praise (though it is very tasty icing on the cake of learning, to be sure). I want my creative work to be meaningful in the real world.

Later, I stopped by to visit a former student who isn't quite taking to 3rd grade. Love her. Met her new best friend. Shared her cheeze puffs.

I continued on to GWU, and seamlessly checked off a list of errands that I've been meaning to accomplish. Blah blah blah. For lunch, I ate a turkey sandwich at the glorious GW Deli (to prove I still can), and a lovely Vinyasa yoga class ended my peacefully constructive day on GWU campus.

But that's not all. Halfway through my walk home, the snow flurries began. Just light enough to tickle and glisten in the air under the streetlights. I was cold for sure, but an inspiring podcast was playing through my earbuds, and my limbs were so loose from yoga, I couldn't be anything other than blissfully happy. I love this city, and I love having a home. I love tomorrow already.
