Highly doubtful if the thermometer reached 30 degrees today - in fact, it started out in the mid-teens according to the Today Show at the gym this morning. But, nevertheless, it was a perfectly wonderful day to be outside.
In fact, it was one of those days that I kept searching for a reason to go outside:
A quick jog to the gym (+treadmill run inside) and back - brr!...
A familiar walk up the street for a simple breakfast of chocolate-y chip goodness (in the form of a bagel) and a cup of joe from Panera with my sister...
A smooth drive to my school, where some of my students were playing in a basketball game - they won!
A brief trip to the GAP right at the corner of my street - it's hard to resist a buy one get one free sale...
A short "hike" to a nearby restaurant to meet my sister for dinner (after she went to Mass)...
I know the weather won't last like this much longer. Snow's bound to come and barometers are likely to fall sharply. But I had today.
Yes, I had today...
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
