Life challenges us; we all know that. Sometimes I forget to be grateful for this life I have. I focus on the things that bring me worry and anxiety and the big one – FEAR. Let’s name it. Fear…fear that I’m doing it wrong, making mistakes, missing something. Afraid to make a move, paralyzed. Well,Continue reading “A New Day…Everyday”

March 24, 2023 I am grateful for coffee; coffee; and coffee. #3things #choosejoy #gratitude
The end of an era, a bit of acceptance, and a new beginning.
March 23, 2023 This past weekend I finally removed the remnant pieces of my once-amazing classroom. Covid-19 forced the teachers to remove all non-standard seating in our high school and go back to boring, impersonal, 100-year-old rows of desks. I kept the items of comfortable seating in a room close to mine that was onceContinue reading “The end of an era, a bit of acceptance, and a new beginning.”
3 things – simple
August 8, 2022 I am grateful for late night, left over pizza and garlic butter; I am very grateful for this streaming ice machine thingy that goes through my current brace- it is very soothing (as is the pizza, if I’m being honest); I am grateful for my amazing friend and her timely, post-it noteContinue reading “3 things – simple”
Summer 2022 is almost gone but my to do list isn’t finished.
August 7, 2022 I am grateful that when I tore my ACL abroad that I did not break anything else the multiple times I fell as I continued to walk 5-7 miles a day. I tore it on the plane ride over, but when school starts it will be because… I tore my ACL inContinue reading “Summer 2022 is almost gone but my to do list isn’t finished.”
3 thing April 12 – 2nd day of spring break – I’d rather be at the beach!!
So, day 1 I got sinus surgery and it’s a 3-5 day recovery with 2 weeks of no strenuous activity. I did this over spring break so as not to miss more time in my classroom since the repeated sinus infections that knocked me out so bad doc gave me a Covid test every time,Continue reading “3 thing April 12 – 2nd day of spring break – I’d rather be at the beach!!”
April 6, 2022 Gratitude should be spoken.
Today. Hmmmm – today the Lord gave me breath and pushed me out of my bed. I am grateful. Today I had food to eat for breakfast and a car to drive to a job (after a hot shower and fresh clean clothes attained) I am grateful. Today my feelings were hurt. It’s was shockingContinue reading “April 6, 2022 Gratitude should be spoken.”
Monday, Monday 3 things
February 28, 2022 – I am grateful that today I felt energized after work for, probably, the first time in 2022. I have been sick or just run down all of 2022 so far. So, today was a good day – serene – and the weather was nice enough, too for a long silent walk.Continue reading “Monday, Monday 3 things”
NOT SO Daily 3 things
So, I have clearly struggled these past few days getting my daily gratitude out. I have thought about many things to write and about many things I am grateful for. However, my current mental state and life events have left me with back-handed, snarky gratitude that I did not think was healthy to put outContinue reading “NOT SO Daily 3 things”
Friday Snow Day – Daily 3 things of gratitude
January 21, 2022 – Brrr it’s cold out there! In South Carolina we don’t often get that biting cold wind that takes your breath away when you step outside. I felt it today, boy. Brrrrrr.
