Gratitude on the go! 9-25-13

Today I am grateful for:
-this quote:
"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams, who looks inside awakes."
-time this morning to run some errands
-my landlord. He's been a really supportive guy whenever a stupid unfortunate situation comes up. I'm hoping it's all over with now, but its really nice to know that I have had his support.
-Pro-Crisis. I was able to watch a couple actual role plays in action today at a prison.* It was so educational and incredibly powerful. Some students were rockin it out and some were really struggling. That's all part of it though and that's why they have this training in the first place. After watching I definitely have more confidence in what I need to do to make this a successful educational experience.
-my class tonight. They're such a great group of students that seem to really want to learn and are always ready to try new things even when its hard. You can't ask for more than that.
-this amazing tea from the Tea Garden. I maaay have gotten it 3 days in a row. #worthit
-the basics
-laughter
-as always, my friends.

*The prison was very different from what I imagined. (Probably because I've watched too much Orange Is The New Black.) The actual landscape around the prison was quite beautiful, which is in some ways even harder to imagine being inside and only being able to look out. I also didn't get to walk around too much of the prison, but where the role plays took place was in a cell I believe. If that's actually the case, there are quiet a few people to one room, they have a bathroom (showers, toilets, sinks) inside the room itself, and also 4 pay phones. Also these tables that have built in games on it like checkers, chess, and solitaire. It was very interesting. Again, I'm not sure if that was an actual cell or a holding cell, but either way it was quite interesting.
