I appreciate:

• The honor of learning, performing, and playing with my 501 classmates.  These people are open-hearted, generous, and brilliant and I feel so fortunate to know them. 
• My mom’s habit of singing bits of song related to something said in a conversation.  Just now I looked up at the daisies on the table and in my mind, I heard my mom’s voice singing, “Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do. I’m half-crazy, all for the love of you.” I ♥ you, mom!
• The sunshine and birds singing.  Even though I can also hear the furnace kicking back on, I feel hopeful that someday it will actually be spring!
