• a truly memorable date at Stone Barns with my husband to celebrate our 18th anniversary
• that the 10th anniversary of 9/11 passed without incident, and that I was able to commemorate the solemn day the same way I have for the past nine years—by watching the bell-ringing and reading of the names
• lunch dates with my girls!
• meeting the dedicated, enthusiastic teachers at the high school who bring passion to learning for my very lucky boys
• the fact that Matt and I somehow both got charged up for his bar mitzvah this week
• a beautiful, sunny autumn-like day
