Today, my youngest nephew turns 4. I'll be spending the afternoon with my sibs and their kids.
This morning, my sister's brother-in-law, one of the sweetest guys you'll ever meet, after a long and sometimes lonely and difficult road, has been in the hospital... because his wife just had a baby girl.
A big step has been taken towards patching a crack in the system and turning life around for a family I respect and admire.
I'm helping to send a good friend, whom I also respect and admire, to a conference where she will learn to improve an already outstanding organization dedicated to making the world a better place.
I'm helping a friend (still recovering from an accident a few years back) to keep her head above water and get back on her feet.
These past few days, I've been well enough to take my dog on a good morning walk through the park.
There are other things, too.
Of course, not everything is perfect. I'm sending you my best thoughts, Val.
But, on the whole... today is a good day.
