A few of my favorite things, in no particular order without any overarching theme. :)
(1) My students
(2) Bryan and Katie Torwalt's station on Pandora
(3) This prayer:
"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyways. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." - [Blessed Mother Teresa]
(4) Slam poetry: Janette IKZ: "I Will Wait For You"
(5) Slam poetry: Taylor Mali: "What Teacher's Make"
(5) Training for the March 17th marathon with a run around Haynes Point, the monuments, the Capitol, and Columbia Heights with Adele, Backstreet Boys, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, Dave Matthews, Florence and the Machine, Jason Mraz, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Kenny Loggins, the Killers, Prince Royce, Shakira, and U2.
(6) My students' pen-pal relationship with my high school English teacher's class.
(7) Rita Springer's "King of the Jews" worship song
(8) Lemon & brown sugar chicken with Italian roasted potatoes and steamed green beans, and all things associated with home-cooked meals and dinner parties. Thank you, Laura DiNatale!
