This week I’m thankful for…

• the sound of my husband’s snores paired with the sound of rain on the roof
• my parent volunteers who do thousands of little tasks so that I can focus on teaching my little ones
• Sunday in my pajamas
• quiet afternoons to write
• leftovers
• the fleeting moment when all the laundry is folded and put away and the laundry baskets are empty
• OUTSIDE RECESS!!!
• a collaboration day with my colleagues including lunch at my house and a walk around the neighborhood.  I do my best thinking when I’m moving.
• my very patient step-dad who is teaching me so much
• a break in the rain to walk in the Arboretum by the river.  I brought my camera along and snapped this shot.  I love when the light casts a blue spell spilling from the sky down over the mountains and into the water
