Penn Nursing Colleagues

The 36th day of 2019 found me in a familiar place.  I was, once again, asked to judge a mock-trial in the NURS 163 class.  I used to do this when I worked in Fagin Hall and I am lucky that the faculty of the class continue to invite me back each year.  I missed last year so that made 2/5/19 even more special.  Not only did I get to meet a new amazing Penn Nursing class (and hear some really excellent testimony from which I learned even after doing these cases for multiple years), but I also saw some of my really fantastic colleagues from the Nursing School.  In the same theme as my Saturday trip to the "Ol' Neighborhood," this was the work version of that feeling.  Yeah, some things have changed in the 4.5 years since my office was in Fagin, but the smiles and friendships have stayed strong.  Tonight, as I go to bed early (I am exhausted), I go with a smile thinking of how grateful I am to have my colleagues from the Nursing School and how lucky I am to still have events that keep us connected.

A Night with No Plans

The evening of the 59th day was a unicorn.  After work on 2/28/19, we actually had nothing planned.  Anna and Sarah went to the gym, Alexa went out with friends, and I chilled at home.  Tonight, I am thankful for this brief respite (I know it will ramp right back up real soon).  Goodnight!

Being a Father

6/16/2019 is Father's Day.  And I spent the 166th day of 2019 doing things with my family.  Church, clothes shopping (I did need new (and smaller, thank goodness) clothes), naps, Disney Movies on TV, a GREAT dinner (mmmm lasagna by Sarah), and then more catching up on TV with the family.  I am so blessed that, on 4/2/2002, I was made a father.  Being a father has pretty much defined me since that day.  I am so grateful for being a father, as well as being thankful for those who have advised me and taught me and have helped me become a better father.  This, of course, includes my fathers and grandfathers, who have been shining examples to me, but also for all of those other people in my life who have been models and mentors, my mom, other relatives, my wife, friends, etc.  So, to all who have been in my life in regard to my parenting, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!  (and thank you!)

More Numbers

Today, 11/24/19, is Day #328 of 2019.  As with most Sundays, after Church, I counted, with my counter colleagues, the offering that was collected.  So, on day 328, the Loose Offering was $27 and the total cash was $273.  I know it might sound geeky, but this is where my gratitude lies today.  I love that these are more numbers to make me happy.  And I am glad that a simple set of numbers can start my day off in a good manner.
