Thankful List

-Small group last night and hanging out with Matt, Jane, Manny, Kaitlyn, Eunjoo and Eunjoo's dog, Gavey (I've never met a dog with such a spunky personality ha ha).

-October issue of Tabletalk. This month's issue is on perfectionism and control and the articles I've read so far have been so intellectually and heart-stirring. Especially the articles, "The Illusion of Control" by Thomas Brewer and "God's Control and Our Responsibility" by Guy M. Richard. Highly highly recommend. Plus, it looks like there is a free three-month trial subscription period (which I just entered my info for).

-Rainy days when you order a medium latte and the barista accidentally makes a large one for you. Thank you, friendly barista.

-Last week, I made the New York Time's sea salt tahini dark chocolate rippled cookies to send some to my mom along with some coffee I got her from Colombia and WOW! NYT continues to impress me with their cookies recipes. I think this, along with Laura Bush's NYT cowboy cookies are my favorite cookie recipes.

-Officially done with my first week of classes! Today, we watched a video on labor and delivery in class and I started tearing up. The messy physicality of giving birth juxtaposed against the holy and sacred experience is one that I am so mesmerized by. I truly look forward to observing a live birth during clinical.

In all of these things - both simultaneously mundane and numinous - I feel the pleasure of God.
