Belated Thankfulness

You know when you have had a day, not really bad. Pretty good, in fact, but a day where there has been an aggrevation or two, and all you feel like doing is gripe, gripe, gripe. Well, I did my share of that today in the car with a friend of mine to and from school, not as bad from school really because actually she made me feel better this morning. BUT... try as I might, I'm making all efforts to be as POSITIVE as possible, especially at this time of year with as much going on as there is and then some.

OK , why am I expressing belated thanks and what am I belatedly (if there is such a word!) thankful for? Here goes...

My apartment

My apartment managers who are flexible and who help me remember the importance of this

My elementary students and teaching colleagues who think of fun field trips

My sense of discipline

My intuition of when it's time to stop and just rest and relax for awhile

Getting things (no matter how small) done even if it IS on a Friday night

Of course ALL my friends and family (more on that later)

My faithful blog readers ( I have noticed that several people have visited. Please visit as often as you like)

The Bluffton Christmas Parade

Digital Cameras

Starbucks Coffee

My cats, Madison and Kaby

The list could go on and on

Oh, I forget... libraries and media specialists who are ALWAYS willing to assist!

Dinner invitations

My church choir (sorry guys :) )
