My daily gratitude for:

1. My dad, John, whose consistent love, appreciation for jokes and laughter and levity, and whose strength of service and kindness and work ethic are second to none. Happy birthday Dad!
2. Grief tears. They are sacred and special in so many ways.
3. Karen Geiger Behm, a phenomenal pediatric chaplain whose personality is bold and inviting, centered and collected, and full of energy for good. Happy birthday Karen!
4. Building a tinker crate with Ryan and making an automaton! I love the opportunity to teach him engineering and science and watch his pride and learning.
5. Playing soccer with Ryan, and building his skills and confidence.
6. Liz’s love for exploring and trying new places.
7. Having friends in many places.
8. Cold refreshing water.
9. A really good margarita.
