I Am Grateful For…
- Life, both my own and the life yet to be
- Trying, failing, and trying some more
- Love—deep, rooted love
- Hope that allows me to face each new day with a smile on my face and hope in my heart
- Mine and my husband’s random sense of humor—it helps us to keep reaching for our goal
- Passion
- SmartBoards—so I don’t have to smell the nauseating odor of dry erase markers
- Being ok with the fact that my favorite blue shirt now has a black marker line down the side
- Being able to blame the marker line on kids…when really it was due to my own absentmindedness!
- The ability to think as an individual—questioning mandates that just don’t “feel right”
- The ability to “question authority” (from the comfort of my living room)
- Amazing compliments from the “higher-ups” that validate my decisions
- Great neighbors—on both sides
- Oyster roasts around a campfire even though I don’t like oysters
- The warming, radiating heat of a fire on a chilly autumn night
- No longer being the only person shivering when it is 65 degrees outside
- God's plan--while I may not always understand it, I love the life with which God has blessed me
...For That I Am Grateful
