    I love sending emails to friends, mentors, professors, and others, because not only is it a way to show my gratitude for their support of me, but also a way to keep both them and myself motivated to share that kindness. Sending a thankful note to someone, even for the smallest things, can brighten their day, and that kindness has a chain reaction.

    I like taking walks down to the river, and then playing in the river! I wear my rainboots so I can wade out and splash around.

    I spent time outside today, enjoying the sunshine. I really need to get out more -- studying can wait when the late-October weather is still this wonderful!
