I woke up this morning realizing that everything I was worried about has worked out perfectly. I was worried that the firehouse in our backyard would wake me up in the middle of the night, but beyond being woken once or twice in the first week b/c I had my window open, I haven't even heard it. I was worried about missing classes for the conference, and I have no classes on Thursday or Friday. I was worried about somebody covering the classes I was supposed to teach during my conference, and people immediately volunteered. I was worried about flying for the first time and it was simple; I was worried about presenting at the conference and it went perfectly. I found a ballet class and a swing club and a place to walk, and everything has come up roses.

Praise ye the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear,
Now to his temple draw near,
Join me in glad adoration.

Praise ye the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under his wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen
How thy desires e'er have been
Granted in what he ordaineth?

Praise ye the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee!
Surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee;
Ponder anew
What the Almighty will do,
If with his love he befriend thee!

Praise thou the Lord, who with marvelous wisdom hath made thee,
Decked thee with health, and with loving hand guided and stayed thee.
How oft in grief
Hath not he brought thee relief,
Spreading his wings to o'ershade thee!

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him.
Let the Amen
Sound from his people again;
Gladly for aye we adore him.
