Like Water In A Thirsty Land

The things that ease my tight chest, slake my thirst, moisten my throat, save my vocal cords from damage:

Laughing with my wife
Loving on critters and people
Laughing with my students
Laughing with my friends
Walking beautiful wildness
Students saying I matter to them
Students saying they matter to me
Walking friends home
Walking friends Home
Celebrating others' accomplishments
Writing of joys
