Armila Francis 10/25/2016 10:23 AMI've kept a thankfulness journal for a few years now, but I've recently I've neglected my previously-daily regimen of recording things in it daily. I pulled it out and wrote a few last night, and it was a delight. Almost at 6000! :) -

(But I'm going to drive about 120 miles tomorrow to get back to Upland...) -

Armila Francis 10/19/2016 8:26 PMToday I took a walk in the Taylor Arboretum behind Randall. It was beautiful. Yellow hickory leaves blanketed the forest floor and the black raspberry leaves are turning a delightful shade of crimson :) -
Armila Francis 10/18/2016 6:41 PMShout out to all the Sustainability Assistants for starting a compost collection at the Jumping Bean! I think all of us should get credit for that since it was a joint effort :)
Thanks for picking up today, Matt! -

Armila Francis 10/16/2016 1:12 PMI did a hard-core room cleaning today! Sorted some items to donate in an effort to downsize. The real challenge will come when I drop off my items at Helping Hand, for I know I'll be tempted to look for yarn, knitting needles, and fleece pullovers. -
