I am not a morning person, but morning is my favorite part of the day. It's quiet save for the birds. It's calm save for the rumbling of the train. It's tranquil. It's peace. It's all the things I know I will miss if I slept a little later, and none of the things I end up missing because sleeping-in is not a part of my makeup. It's Labor Day weekend once again, where I feel the need to rush to every pool before each closes for the season. To top off my reserve of vitamin D, or to do something outside. The thing I remember most about September (apart from a very rare Indian summer), is that the weather changes quickly to cool mornings & evenings. This is probably simultaneously what I love and hate most about the NorthEast: as soon as you get used to it, it ends; but then again, somehow, you meet toe-to-toe around the very next corner. This post is short but sweet: it's a "good luck" to all teachers & students who are starting up again, it's a cheers to a new season in a new year, it's taking a moment to find a short pause in the day to realize that sometimes the universe speaks loudest in the odd waking hours of an early morn. And thank God that it does.
We are friends and graduates of Muhlenberg college, who, upon the passing of our 10th year out of school, have decided upon this project: Gratitude on the Daily. Life is as crazy as they say, but we've made it our mission to stop for a moment, and capture the things we are grateful for. Please enjoy our one year project of all the things we stop, capture, and write about. #grateful
