So many. But this one always comes to mind.
Look, the trees are turning their own bodies into pillars of light, are giving off the rich fragrance of cinnamon and fulfillment, the long tapers of cattails are bursting and floating away over the blue shoulders of the ponds, and every pond, no matter what its name is, is nameless now. Every year everything I have ever learned in my lifetime leads back to this: the fires and the black river of loss whose other side is salvation, whose meaning none of us will ever know. To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Got out of school at 11:30 today so we could get all the kids home before the weather got nasty. Now we're facing several inches of snow and ice. I'd like it noted that today was supposed to be the first day of spring sports practices.

From my local coffee shop. This is also a win today.
A receipt with a handwritten note that says “Have a great day Coach!”
