3/18: tba

I haven't recorded my good thing for 3/18 yet, but please feel free to post a good thing from your day in the comments!

3/17: shamrocks

So much is blooming today, including some wild shamrocks.

3/16: irish soda bread

From my parents. A great breakfast. I look forward to it at this time every year.

3/15: not great, but not bad

A meeting I was worried about went better than I had anticipated. It still wasn't wonderful, but it wasn't a disaster--and that's enough to make it a good thing.

3/14: things in the air

White petals from blooming trees, fluttering down to the ground in the morning breeze.

Bees attending to the sweet-smelling holly blossoms on the bushes near the library.

Stars, stars, stars on a clear night.

3/13: at home

We made dinner for ourselves this evening, instead of eating in the campus cafeteria or going to a restaurant. It felt luxurious.

And this evening, some quality time with Greek, designing a worksheet for the beginning class and reading the Septuagint version of Ruth in preparation for an independent study meeting. I've written before about enjoying the Vulgate translation of Ruth; this is my first time reading it in Greek. Maybe someday I'll learn Hebrew and get back to the original....

3/12: nearly empty

It's that time of year when things are so busy that I need to strategize about when to go grocery-shopping. I found a pocket of time this evening, and I was rewarded by the grocery store being very under-populated. What a pleasure, especially since the last few times I've gone it's been hard to find a parking spot. Maybe this is a too meagre and mundane good thing, but it was a nice to have a complication-free final errand before turning home.
