My new favorite thing happening to me is that I'm beginning to appreciate people more--people who previously, I would have rolled my eyes at. My instructor's silly jokes, evangelical Christian radio, etc. It's much better going through life appreciating what is. Of course, I recognize ignorance. But I don't need to let it throw me off course.

Been cooking lots of pumpkin lately! They had a watermelon with my CSA and I didn't accept it because it's been cold and rainy... eating watermelon just seems to be asking to feel cold and wet inside. The pumpkin is cinnamon and nutmeg-y and delicious.
