Sweet endings like warm gulab jamun on cool rainy days

I am currently loving the following things in my life...

.running barefoot with my students on the dirt track behind the school.
."autumn" in Fiji...i.e. breezy mornings, hot afternoons, and cool nights.
.Radio Fiji Gold--they play the best mix to jam to while shelving library books.
.daily curry lunches with my co-workers.
.a set date for the library opening...and progress that means it will actual open on the day we set.
.story time...I mean seriously, who doesn't love children's books?
.The ability to run before 5pm and not die of heat exhaustion.
.A new coffee shop in town that actually knows how to make a cappuccino.
.The fact that my work days are at max 5 hours long.
.All the crystal light Keondra brought me back for my birthday.
.pineapples.
.coffee on my porch overlooking the mountains.
.my newly found acceptance of the notion that I don't know what's coming next...and that this may be a good thing.
.the ridiculous one liners my students throw at me daily (for example: "Miss Sarah if I come visit you in America, can we visit that fat lady with the crown and torch? [referring to the statue of liberty")
.the fact that my days basically depend on the sun.
.dance parties to anything lady gaga.
.waterfalls.
.Reading the Life of Pi.
.Mint Chocolate Ice cream...new to the Lautoka "MHs".
.being present.
