Today, I am taking a cue from a fellow slicer, Karyn In The Kitchen, and making a list of the things I am thankful for this week.

• my neighbor, who brings my trash cans back from the curb
• leftovers from my daughter that yielded two dinners
• an early dinner with a friend from college
• grocery pickup services
• surviving standardized testing
• a delicious dinner I actually cooked myself
• finishing and audiobook
• warmer weather
• a plan to refresh my flower beds
• finding my missing Chapstick and spare house key
• a refilled snack cart in the faculty room
• The Phillies winning their home opener
• the people who read my posts and those who comment on them
• some free time at school to work on purging my classroom
