Today I'm thankful for my housemate having thought of me in her baking adventures with a group of friends and brought me home a gluten-free cupcake. Which was, actually, one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. Moist dark chocolate with some surprise cream. Perfect pre-broomball snack.
I'm thankful that even though today was only my fourth official day of my new AmeriCorps position, security at Northfield High School now recognizes me as someone who works in the TORCH office and let me politely in. I feel so official!
I'm thankful for support at work to run with some programming ideas to connect with students and the community in more of the creative service vein. I never expected another one of my Northfield identities, Zumba instructor, would be so heavily drawn on in my AmeriCorps work, but once the word got out that I teach Zumba classes, the middle school and charter school coordinators excitedly entertained possibilities of me doing Zumba in some of the kids' after school programs! That in addition to a Zumbathon charity event that I'd like to hold for this community is a whole lot more dancing than I ever dreamed of doing in a position serving low-income students, but I am blessed to have this skill and opportunity to use dance as another way to serve where I am!
