I love ups that follow downs.
Two sunny days in a row after a series of overcast ones.
Bank accounts that are unfrozen after panic attacks at the ATM.
Friendships that are restabilized after they teeter dangerously close to the edge.
"Difficult" students who open up to me and gain some insight into their behavior after a string of defensive, aggressive disciplinary encounters.
"Favorite" students who return to class eager to learn and find out what they missed after being out sick all morning.
Gym membership cards that are given after two weeks spent growing a "carb belly."
Teaching the nervous system after attempting to teach the immune system.
Reams of newly purchased paper in the office after a late night spent digging through full sheets of scrap paper to print on.
A full wardrobe of fresh laundry to choose from after resorting to my last clean pair of shorts and T-shirt.
Beach time to skype with a favorite after beach and brownie time to get my mind off of problems.
Going to bed before midnight after a series of late nights.
