I almost forgot to post these as I can't quite figure out how it is already Tuesday night. But here they are:

• hot coffee first thing in the morning made by my husband
• a beautiful fall morning
• a chai latte waiting for me at work, compliments of my teaching partner
• a secure job in a profession that I love
• my husband doing the grocery shopping
• delicious nectarines
• my healthy sons and all the love they give me
• a hug from a former student this morning
• a healthy lunch of carrots, snow peas, Granny Smith apple, and deli turkey
• Diet Coke
• students who keep trying despite having a hard time "getting it"
• wonderful books to share with my students
• recess (and not being on recess duty!)
• music
• a car full of gas
• a new friend who is coaching my son to become a runner
• clean laundry, also compliments of my husband
• time to knit my scarf and listen to a couple of podcasts
• time to finish my homework for tonight
• e-mails from my cousins trying to plan a "cousin lunch"
• hugs and kisses from my hubby and a sweet compliment from him
• generous donations to my fundraising drive for the Cancer Relay for Life
