Today started out well with an invitation to coffee from a student--- and there at the coffee shop I sat with two work colleagues as well, and a friend from the church we started going to--- and I met her friend too- and it ended up being like a community. It felt good, and made me think about this phase in life and with what it needs to be filled (while I celebrate the self-reliance and independence of my children.) So, I found my pearl of joy in the neighborhood coffee shop.

Worked at home this afternoon, cooked a good dinner with spaghetti squash and ground chicken meatballs and coconut curry, went to Mom's for a while... and had a piece of cake.
