Today I'm thankful for the delightful coincidence that most of my house wanted to make dinner at 7:30 pm. Normally none of us eat that late, and usually we all kind of do our own thing, but we all somehow ended up flowing in and out of the kitchen and around each other around the same time. And one of my housemates and her boyfriend just got back from their vacation, so that added even more bodies to the mix than are normally vying for counter and stove space, but it was just nice to have everyone around for at least a few minutes. For as much time as I spend with Carleton friends, and running around Northfield for work, errands, and volunteering, I do want to get to know my housemates too and I am thankful that somehow, we all came into this house not knowing each other but everyone is super nice! We are an eclectic crew but a solid bunch, and I hope we can continue to both respect each other as housemates and enjoy each other's company.
I'm thankful for the natural cue of the calluses coming off my fingertips that it has been too long since I have played guitar. So I did, and life is good!
And I'm thankful to always be learning. About others, about life, about God, about love.
That's all for today. I've also learned I must sleep! One can only overflow with joy and love if filled up to begin with. Until tomorrow, dearest readers!
