This week I’m thankful for…

• packages in the mail
• roses cut from a student’s garden
• my little one who wrote me a thank you note that said, “Thank you for peeing a good teacher.”  Best teacher appreciation note ever.
• the smell of rain
• my friend, who upon hearing I was so far at the end of my rope that I was tying a knot and hanging on, responded by saying, “And I will mend a net to catch you.”  Everyone needs a friend like her.
• fresh apricots
• s’mores
• maxi skirts
• holding hands with The Hubs
• my stepdad, for loving my Ugandan kids
• musical theater with six and seven-year olds
• the smell of campfire smoke in my hair
