I am thankful for…
that’s the journal topic i assigned all my students this week. i got a lot of amusing responses and a particularly touching one from one of my favorite students. in an attempt to do what i assign, I am thankful 4:
- my family, who despite our differences and eccentricities, always provides refuge. my brother and sister especially who have currently diverted attention away from me.
- all the kyopos and filipinos in seoul who took me in
- my decade-younger friends who will still hang out with me even though i have real memories of a time before they were born.
- the braver souls than me who are changing the world with their actions
- writers who can make conscious the experiences and feelings i can’t express
- yellow, orange, and red autumn leaves on trees
- Dear Cloud, whose music i feel i could listen to forever
- hot cocoa on a cold, grey, rainy day
- any kind of dessert, and my dessert buddies who are always ready for dessert!
