Thanksgiving

[intertext]

Meme to self: At risk of sounding Pollyanna-ish, 10 things to be thankful for right now (in no particular order).

1. The fact that I have a great job, doing what I love
2. The fact that I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world (even when it's raining, which it is today).
3. My dogs, and all dogs, past and future ... and Clio the cat (I know, I'm cheating - but it's hard to cut this list down to 10 things)
4. Books
5. All the birds in my garden, even (or especially) the wicked hummingbird
6. Of course, friends and family
7. Swiffer dusters
8. Anti-inflammatories
9. Quintessential Gin
10. Bach ... well, okay, music generally, but Bach most of all.

I Just wanted to drop a note to say how much I love your writing. you write just as I know you speak, and lecture. I am an ex student of yours and even though I felt as though I was ready to perish through some of the poetry, these days I look back and find myself hearing your voice explaining (once more) what nature means to the victorians, and what, again, sublime means. So thanks, I won't forget it. One more wise voice to sit on my shoulder while I write my essays.

o my. thanks... that's a lovely thing for you to say - you've completely made my day! and lovely to hear from you (maybe one day not anonymously?). Wishing you continuing good fortune with your studies!
