Three beautiful things from my past week:
1. Rudi returned from his coaching trip on Sunday. Sure it was with a bad head cold, but it was nice to have him home to use up all the tissues I bought on sale while he was away.
2. We were shorthanded for coaching this week, so I ended up on the dodgeball side, rather than with my usual volleyball kids. As were packing up all the equipment at the end, Beth told me that during her check-in with the kids at the beginning one girl had raised her hand to demand to know where I was.
3. Jeff Bezos gutted the Washington Post‘s reporting staff this week, so I canceled my years-long subscription. I want to support savvy journalism and understand how crucial it is to democracy for independent newspapers to survive. But integral to that is actually employing reporters and covering local news. I am beyond disappointed, but feel buoyed that I have sent a message.
How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world lately?

It is very sad about the WaPo. So much history there, and even now, so much potential. You did the right thing to cancel. I wish I had a subscription so I could cancel, too.
The highlight of my week was a chicken parm sandwich. I only took half, leaving the remainder for my hubby, who certainly deserved to have some given that he’s the one who bought it. But I totally and selfishly wish I had eaten the whole thing. OMG, it was so good.
