~Shania's smile when I told her how proud I was when she came in and did her work without jumping up and down like a jack-in-the-box -- that smile would stop traffic, and often stops my heart!
~The quiet time in the car -- a rare commodity these days -- nice to have some time to listen to the quiet, pray, enjoy music without conversation (Not that I don't love commutes with Shane, but it's nice to be alone sometimes, too. . . .)
~The time with friends over a good Mexican meal -- sharing good news, classroom frustrations, laughing, just being together -- how I miss that!
~Jolena stopping by my room just to say hi --she was my assistant for 2 years, and now she and I are both working with someone new. . . she was a good friend, and it's hard to maintain the friendship with busy work . . . .
~Tabitha telling me that she's tried some of my strategies for the classroom -- and they worked!
~Being with my ADK sisters and making plans and sharing concerns
~The devotional thought I shared with my ADK sisters about struggles and change
~The song knocking on the door of my mind on the way home -- inspired by the devotional thought I shared with the ADK sisters
~The idea that I can still be creative when I have time to be quiet and still
~The excitement in my classroom today over their own share of "pirate treasure"
~The look on Thomas' face when I introduced him to "Mr. Fletcher"
~The card we signed for Angie, struggling with cancer
~The email from my college roommate with a family concern
~Stopping in the back parking lot at the library and reminiscing about my 3 years there -- good years, good people, nice job, wonderful experience
Yes, life is full of its own reminders that it is good. Reflection is good for the soul -- it reminds us of the positives in our life and motivates us to work out the negatives. . . .Looking forward to what matters tomorrow!
