I Was Just Thinking…

  I am nearing the end of my second day at the 2007 Summer Institute at the Logan satellite site.  I have not had a day off in ages;  I need to buy two new tires for my car.  I had to rush my car to Tire City yesterday to find out what was causing the loud banging noise when my speed reached 60 mph. I had a meeting yesterday evening that stretched into the late evening.  I have two cats at home who apparently spend the day cruising  the Internet and trying to get into my food.  I forgot to cut back my rose bushes last fall, and my roses are sparse and skinny. In spite of all that, I feel completely unstressed and happy.  I have spent the last two days doing two of the things I enjoy most:  writing and listening to people who are writing.

The people in SI are just as accepting, welcoming, and affirming as I remember them from my first SI more than ten years ago.  I am happy to get home and prepare for tomorrow, and I will be excited to jump out of bed in the morning to drive the thirty minutes to do this again.  Yes!  Life is good.
