grace in small things: 11.02
I woke up next to my best friend. He made me a great cup of tea. Garlic has a dual purpose: keeps vampires at a distance and keeps ya healthy. Skype calls with Courtney Brown. A fresh-made bed to tuck myself into tonight.
grace in small things: 11.01
I met “family” yesterday at the Peace Corps office in Kyiv. The world seems much friendlier with Peace Corps family around. The weather was cool but lovely for my long walk around town.
