My daily gratitude for:

1. A great new student for CPE who I enjoyed spending a lot of time with today.  It can be exhausting to have someone shadowing, but he is very compassionate, spiritually minded, and perceptive.  
2. Working with Aiden on some of his homework tonight.  It was kinda fun thinking about crosswords with him!
3. Learning patience with my kids, one small step at a time.
4. Playoff baseball!!
5. Watching the Dynamo win their final home game of the season!

My daily gratitude for:

1. The butterfly that landed on the hall window as I walked back to my office. Butterflies are often a reminder of gentle grace, and this one was a great reminder that God is good.
2. The sweet mother I met on the PCU who is still grieving the loss of her own mother years ago.  What a sweet and previous mother!
3. Going to a Dynamo game- it was their last home game but it was a thrilling game, including a Dynamo game, and lots of fun with Josh.
4. Watching playoff baseball after the Dynamo game and getting to talk baseball strategy, detail, and watch all the little parts of baseball.  It’s cool learning from Josh as the soccer expert, but come playoff baseball, I know my way around and love showing it off!
