Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 233

Today's Daily 5:

1. Sunrise colors
2. sympathetic and funny nursing school friends
3. finishing the first of two presentations this week
4. A new bus route (I have this secret desire to ride at least part of every bus route in the city, so a chance to take a new one is fun)
5. a super short school day, with an afternoon that was productive as I worked on the last paper of the semester
6. podcasts and audiobooks (finished a new audiobook again today - listed in the reading list tab, and loving Ian Morgan Cron's podcast lately)
7. a funky, not so urban, downtown (ish) neighborhood (Inglewood)
8. using a groupon for a fabulous deal on a truly awesome three course dinner
9. sharing a meal with my good friend E. and enjoying good conversation over food, and then the chance to pray together in her car afterwards (I came away feeling refreshed and encouraged)
10. chatting with another friend from nursing school, encouraging her as she works on a paper and laughing as she reminded me that a semester or two from now when we hit some heavy biology and pharmacology, she'll be the one reminding ME to breathe and calm down while she explains it.  The give and take of friends is an awesome thing to rest in.
