• typed student paragraphs about kindness, getting help to make it happen
• laughing with colleagues in the faculty room
• meeting in the same spot this time! after-school Starbucks drinks and quality conversation with a friend
• tails wagging when I walked in the door
• evening stroll with my husband

• listening to moving 9/11 testimonies
• confirming my new jewelry order
• his arm around me at the end of another day
