Since preseason started four weeks ago, I’ve been running pretty much nonstop, and I just plum forgot to post this week. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have thee beautiful things, so here they are, just a bit belatedly:

1. My friend Jordan (who is also coaching this fall and probably similarly feeling behind the eight-ball all the time) cat-sit for us last weekend and we arrived home to find him leaving our place. I thought I’d given him the wrong dates, so it was such a relief to find he’d just gone on autopilot instead. Our cats thought it was a wonderful problem to have — beloved by all the people, as they should be.

2. On a day where we thought we were going to have to forfeit and where I was coaching alone, the JV team got their first win of the season.

3. On our drive south, we were able to watch a truly magnificent sunset, the sort where you keep thinking, this has to be its most spectacular and then it improves again at the next curve in the road or peek between buildings.

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