6/7: unpacking

...almost as soon as I got home so I wouldn't have to wake up and do it tomorrow.

6/6: smiling

...at an unexpected visit from a friend.  He knew I was leaving in the early afternoon and stopped by for a quick farewell.

6/5: enjoying

...my last full day in Loretto.  It included a long walk in the morning to my favorite spots and an evening playing cards with friends while enjoying my mother's hospitality.

6/4: the twinkling

...of fireflies low to the ground across my mother's front lawn.

6/3: regathering

...some inner quiet after two less-than-quiet afternoons.

6/2: walking

...a beautiful Pennsylvania trail with a friend and his dog.

6/1: visiting

...with a long-time family friend over lunch with her and my mother.  She's a yoga and meditation instructor, and she seemed to really like hearing about my doing Greek penmanship meditations with my students.  I felt validated and am also grateful for her suggestions about how to make them work better in the future.

5/31: writing

...most of a conference abstract at one sitting.
