Today I am grateful for:
My sweet date Ezra, who went to dinner with me and about 20 other women for a farewell get together for the 5th semester spouses who are leaving the island
Ezra's island aunties whom he loves and who love him
Michael's steadfast dedication to his studies
My growing vegan cookbook collection and the excellent recipes that have been feeding my family in a healthy non-violent way
The sweet ladies at fountain of health who dote on Ezra and stock things like xanthan gum, soy chunks, and xylitol
My beautiful, spacious, air conditioned home
The spectacular views from our windows
The AUC Spouse's Organization that brings AUC students' spouses together in fun ways to support one another while we're far away from family and friends back home
Our loving family that keeps in touch with us and especially with Ezra on Skype so that he has relationships with the extended family members
Ezra's recent growth spurt that has brought on many changes, including no more diapers, self initiated tooth brushing, hair brushing, and hand washing, trying new things like learning to swim and tasting new foods, and loads and loads of sentences spoken like one momentous morning when he woke up, turned to me and whispered, "I'm not a baby anymore. I'm a big boy."
