Today I'm thankful for: My colleagues who simply amaze me daily! I am blessed to work with some of the best people on the planet. They make it easy to go to work each and every day.
On the "Family Front": Looking forward to seeing our extended family this weekend. My cousin, Lynn and her family are coming in to town. It will be nice to relax, swim and enjoy some good family time together.
My Educational Journey: Today I nearly came unglued when I received my grade for my last assignment...it said "80 out of 100" points. I thought, "You have GOT to be kidding me!" I worked so hard on that. I stewed. I fretted. I was frustrated. Then, I clicked into the course email only to find out that the number of points had been reduced from 100 to 80! I guess THAT will teach me!
My Running Notes: Due to my car breaking down tonight, I missed my run. I will have to pick up tomorrow. Grrr!!
What I'm Reading: I've read my group paper again and again and again. Today, though, on the children's book front I read a copy of Chris Raschka's version of the Quaker hymn "Simple Gifts" and let me tell you, it's simply beautiful! Can't wait to get my own copy.
On my Mind: I am blown away by our literacy night tonight! My friend Sandy and I did an activity where parents and kids wrote letters to local baseball teams to request autographs. We included a SASE in the letter so the kids could possibly receive mail. And, guess what? Over half the parents couldn't figure out how to address an envelope!! Unbelievable. That alone, was a lesson.
Inspirational Quote or Thought for Today:
I've really been thinking about this word lately: ANYWAY!
When I don't feel like loving, I want to love ANYWAY!
When I don't feel like working, I want to work ANYWAY!
When I don't feel like listening, I want to listen ANYWAY!
There are times we need to persevere with an ANYWAY attitude.
