#311/366--Thankful, Day 6

...yes. I know...
...you should be thankful...
...all year long...
 
...but honestly...
...are you?
 
...Sometimes, it's nice...
...to focus on your blessings...
...and count them...
 
...especially the little things...
 
...more importantly...
...the things that seem little...
 
...but really aren't...
 
...If you are like me...
...you get bogged down by life...
MOST OF THE TIME
...so I am spending this month...
...counting my blessings...
 
...A few things today...
First...
...the sunrise...
...on my way...
...into school...
 
...these two heathens...
 
...and...
...a conversation...
...I had...
...with...
...a 7-year-old...
...who is in my class...
...and was also in my kindergarten class...
...two years ago...
 
Cutie-pie:  Ms. Franco, you say hi to all the kids from our kindergarten class, don't you?
Me:  You bet I do!
Cutie-pie:  You remember us all? I remember (he lists names of kids who have moved)
Me: I remember.  I could never forget!  You guys were my favorite Kindergarten class ever.
Cutie-pie:  I won't ever forget either.  I really enjoyed Kindergarten.
 
Seriously.  He enjoyed Kindergarten. Dude. Me too. My heart just overflows.
I love.love.love. my job.

#310/366--Thankful, Day 5

...Judge Judy...
...in the orthodontist waiting room...
...to remind me...
...that my life...
...isn't so bad...

 ...a youthful shoulder to lean on...

 ...long shadows...
...in the early evening...
...which means...
...autumn...



 ...sunset...
...any day...
...any month...
...any time of the year...

 ...BFFs...
...who, not only....
...come watch your children's sports...
...but also...
...shape their minds...
...in the classroom...

 ...and a glass (or 2...)...
...of wine...
...after...
...a.very.long.day.at.school...

#308/366--Thankful, Day 3

...for the little things...
...such as...
 
...premade sugar cookies...
...no mixing...
...just put on the Pampered Chef stone...
...and bake...
 
...and also...
...this variety of little things...
 
...a pony-tail holder & headband...
...for those days...
...when you don't feel like fixing your hair...
 
...sunglasses...
...for those days...
...when it's gorgeously sunny...
 
...contact solution and case...
...(and glasses)...
...for those days...
...when you put your contacts in...
...inside-out...
...and it takes you all day...
...to figure out...
...that's what's been bothering your eyes...
 
...and also...
...good music...
...for those days...
....well...
...music is good for any day...
...it just speaks to your soul...
...whether you are feeling down...
...or jamming out...
...music speaks what you feel...
..when you aren't sure...
...how to put it into...
...words...
 
...and also...

...cute Disney Movies...
...or...
...more to the point...
...that my teenagers...
...will still go with me...
...to see kiddie movies...
...maybe that means...
...that they do still love me...
 
...and for that...
...I.am.thankful...
