1. Scrambling up cathedral toward the summit of Katahdin in Maine
2. The feeling of jumping in the Kennebec river and being swept down the fast flowing waterway with my extended family (in a way that is not terrifying because there's also a raft that's flowing just as fast right nearby me). Also, I totally thought about not jumping in because I didn't want to get cold/wet, so another aspect of this that feels important to name and remember is that I never really regret jumping in and doing the things that I'm a little bit hesitant to do for lame reasons.
3. Organizing closets that haven't been organized for years
4. Going to work every day with Adam.
5. "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" by Meatloaf (specifically, singing it to my 9-month old housemate Francis over breakfast)
6. Taking trains & going on adventures alone
7. The grey tank top I bought in Norway when my luggage was lost / being able to wear said tank top outside in the shade and not be cold
8. Teaching Francis how to return my eskimo kisses
9. Daydreaming about doing yard work (not necessarily actually doing it)
10. Things that help me be a better consumer (like black-owned business listings & The Better World Shopping Guide)

Top 10
Things Bringing Me Life These Days...
1. The sweet frothed milk left over at the bottom of a good latte
2. Writing/journaling/anything that allows me to engage more deeply with my interior life/the world and presses pause on my persistent drive to "do" and cross tasks off of a list
3. Any event where my students get to show off something they have worked hard at and feel proud of themselves (who knew this stuff could make a person tear up)
4. Creating a rhythm of intentionally planned times of rest
5. Community with other spiritual directors
6. "Quarter Chicken Dark" from the album Goat Rodeo Sessions (Chris Thile, Edgar Meyer, Stuart Duncan, & Yo-Yo Ma)
7. Plain chocolate ice cream
8. The feeling you feel at the start of the season when you think about all the potential things that can happen in summertime
9. Farmers Markets & local, beautiful ways people work together to help make taking care of the environment a joyful, natural thing
10. Watching humans do myriads of humany things
