Three beautiful things from my past week:

1. I got to coach the girls’ game on my own on Tuesday, and while I didn’t get the bench players all the time I wanted, I got them all into the game — and we won.

2. We spent the weekend in Connecticut, and in addition to my parents got to see my brother and my dad’s best friends, who are like our uncle and aunt. Also, the replacement base to my dad’s favorite chair arrived the morning we were heading home, so we got to fix that before we left.

3. Susan and I had lunch this week and got to sit outside on a beautiful afternoon and catch up. Since we last saw each other in the spring, her son has started high school, and her husband is taking early retirement from the government. I’ve started my paid coaching gig. We had a lot to catch up on.

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world lately?
