1. a really good, encouraging final swing dance lesson of the semester, last Wednesday
2. H, with whom I actually practice said dancing and can work on remembering and incorporating the things we learn, rather than them effectively going in one ear and out the other, since I haven't been able to go social dancing (the time has always been a conflict of one sort or another for me).
3. starting a new tutoring job (a bar mitzvah student), and the chance to start to get to know a new-to-me kid, and practice certain of my teaching skills
4. lj user="wildblueyonder2">, who was thoughtful about having not seen us in ages, and both invited us for brunch and was then willing to come join us instead, so that I could have time to do some work on my finals and make sure I was at said tutoring job on time.
5. my sister, who can't make it to my ordination (which was, at first, rather hurtful, but hearing her acknowledge that it was an important thing made a different to me today, when we talked), but was willing to entertain the idea of coming just for the graduation, if it meant enough to me.

Is graduation invitation-only? I couldn't make it to your senior sermon.

It is, I'm afraid. And while I think I have an extra ticket for graduation (versus ordination)- that's the boring part...

I think we'll have some sort of celebration with friends at some point after the event proper. I hope you'll be able to join us for that, once I actually schedule it...

I always appreciate reading these updates. It's nice to know you have good things going on in your life. :)

Thank you! It's good to remind myself of all those good things- otherwise, it can get easy to get swallowed up in the assorted stresses of life.
