I just got back from a week of training in OKC. The weather was beautiful while I was there, and I got to meet scissor tailed flycatchers and burr oaks and great tailed grackles (who whistled magnificently at me each morning as I walked to my car.) I took a nice walk in a park last night, and a complete stranger gave me a flower. I've been reading The Overstory by Richard Powers (and it's hard to put down). class went well.
The last year has been the worst year of my life. But that year is now over (maybe it's ending right this second. Maybe it ended yesterday, or last week. I'm not sure. But I'm saying it's over.) Today I got to come back home to the two people who matter more to me than anyone else in the world. They met me at the airport, and they are the solid bottom of all that is good in my life. Even if everything else good in my life melted away, everything about them would be enough. But I do have plenty more than that. The past couple of months have felt pretty good. I came back to my house to find the bee balm blooming vigorously by the porch and my friends and family are the best anyone could hope for.
