this week was good because of...

...the lovely blooms that are showing up everywhere.

...being cared for, emotionally and mentally, by colleagues.

...a weekend to myself. This included seeing the latest Nicholas Sparks film adaptation, which was a simple, lovely telling of the story.

...making more solid progress on final plans for the upcoming commencement (and having fun with seating charts...seriously).

...the opportunity to spend time cultivating a newer friendship.

...a feeling of accomplishment on Tuesday evening when I kept myself focused and got so much done around the house.

...wearing flip-flops. Yay!

...kind praise from a mentor at my previous institution.

...beautiful, beautiful performances on this week's episode.

What made your week good?
