Northwest

1. Compassion. Serving dinner at the homeless shelter was over quickly. [I am grateful.]

2. Compliment? I thought I recognized someone on the way to my car. I looked at him funny, then shook my head and explained that he looked familiar. He said, ‘I wish I was.’ [I am flattered.]

3a. Conversation. Snapchat with my niece McKenna, who invited me to her wedding next spring. [I am delighted.]

3b. Conversation. Dinner chat with my family. Shoutout to Aria: Good luck with your application to Northwestern! [I am proud.]

And not to be unappreciated on this most mid-November of days:

4. Currency. Unlike some at work, my pay was deposited into my bank account. [I am relieved.]
