So lucky

I had a wonderful day today, so many gifts and I feel like I have so little time to record them all... I admit this is partially due to Self-inflicted Holiday Knitting Pressure (SIHKP). Anyway, I really wanted to write about and remember a visit today from a former student, Dave Douglas, who was in my creative writing class when he was a senior and is now almost graduated from Alfred University. Dave is an artist and he came by to show me photos of his work and tell me about what he's doing. For me, as a teacher, this is the most amazing gift. To be able to connect with someone who is doing such interesting and beautiful things, and to have had even a small part in who he is today, is what it's all about. So thanks Dave! If I can figure out how, I will link to his blog so more people can enjoy his work!
