Appreciations Day 6

I appreciate my parents and siblings for showing me at all times what love is. Even if we can’t often talk with each other or be together. That love is supportive and kind, that it can show emotion, that love can laugh, that love never betrays. I appreciate my old friends—Missy, who just lost her dad. Catherine. The wonderful Catherine. Sonja and Nichole. Alicia. Many more. How blessed I am. I appreciate the Dreamers and all African Americans, who despite facing the ugliest parts of humanity their entire time here, have survived with dignity and  have thrived with grace. If we could follow their lead maybe our country will be great. I appreciate Merryn & James’s teachers. 

I appreciate about myself that I am taking classes this year at Westchester Community College. 20th Century US History in the fall and Nutrition this spring. Both very enjoyable and they are expanding my mind and my thinking. And forcing me to rediscover student skills I have long forgotten.
