Antidotes

The emotional roller coaster we’ve all been on lately has been insisting on dragging me through mostly lows lately, but here are some things that I’ve recently experienced that have provided a little respite from the gloom:

-A video of baby goats in pajamas

-Standing under waterfalls

-Running by a fawn, so young is still has its white spots

-Watching a humming bird scold a couple of finches for hanging around his feeder

-Sunset over a lake while paddle boading

-Bull frogs croaking at dusk

-Katydids singing a chorus so loudly in the pitch dark that it drowns out every other sound

-A perfect batch of jalapeno poppers, straight from the oven

I teach reading to six graders at Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Arlington, Virginia. I love to read, travel, cook, and spend time outside. I am married to a math teacher, and I have two teenage children and two cats.
