1. This morning, the wee one (who did us the tremendous favor of sleeping through the night), pulled away from my hand to run into daycare, because she's a BIG GIRL now, and can do it HERSELF. It made me a little sniffly, but it's a sign that I'm doing my job.
2. I may feel blech, but I look fabulous.
3. Last night, there was shouting on my street, and I didn't care, because for once, they were shouts of joy and triumph.
4.
This poem, by the Velveteen Rabbi, who is amazing.
5. Logging in to grade a set of papers, and realizing I had already graded them. Yes, we've hit that point ;).
*Physical, not emotional.
