I miss…
> my friends
> my family
> a feeling of sanity and control when I go to bed/wake up in the morning
> dogs
> reading time
> writing time
> thinking time
> Russian
> Latin
> learning about linguistics
> having people to watch TV with (thanks to Kristin & Sarah for taking up that role VERY well this year)
> having a real chance at excellence
> having a real chance at adequacy
> liking every single person that I work with
> feeling that no one sets out to hurt others
>having a piano to play on whenever I want
I appreciate…
> the new friends I’ve made
> having a job
> having good students
> just how comforting Simon & Garfunkel is this morning (Wednesday Morning, 3 AM)
> my regained zeal for reading
> hobbies (knitting, crocheting, drawing)
> my family
> my old friends, whom I don’t see enough of (hazard of being in different cities/states & all immersed in work or study)
> challenges
> puzzles
> still being able to lose myself in a book (George RR Martin, Stina Leicht, Neil Gaiman, Madeleine L’Engle, Patrick O’Brian – thanks)
> being alive
> the sense of new beginning that comes with a new semester and a new year

Thanks, Ken :) You are definitely one of the friends I miss!
And you too, miss VC! I can’t believe I didn’t manage to see either of you over Christmas :(
