Dear breadmaker,

I love you. I really really do. So much deliciousness comes out of you every week and it's cheaper and way healthier than the store-bought stuff. I thought I bought you more for my exboyfriend who really didn't appreciate you. But no, now I realize I bought you for me. You're. Just. Awesome!

I know you were there because I put you there but I'm still grateful. Thanks, Past C, I guess I should say. Awesome. YOu're always there when I need you, or before I need you, anyhow.

2. Good books, one in particular.
3. Good friends who inspire me and are willing to share with me!
4. My awesome students who taught me a couple of great truths today: "one coin alone can't make a sound" to describe why they walk away when their wives want to argue- makes me think of the bottom line- if you want to be with someone, be with them. Don't make your time together miserable by squabbling the whole time. If the problems are too much, don't be with them. Just choose. Don't make each other miserable.
Also: "human life is like morning dew" the teaching of some famous samurai who visited taiwan during the japanese occupation, and spoke to my student donald when he was a school kid.

7. I'm glad I'm not going out of my way to be hurtful. That would be embarrassing and I'm just glass I'm not like that.
