Today I am grateful the first trimester is done…. At SCHOOL! Report cards are finished and sent home. The majority of my conferences are Done. I am grateful for a break from the stress of school for even a few days. I love teaching but taking a break allows me to return refreshed and a better teacher. 

Today I am grateful for water. It us my beverage of choice for most of the day. It is essential for the making of coffee,  the taking of long, Hot showers and replenishing my soul. I often take for granted that it is there at the twist of a handle. I find my greatest peace at the waters edge. Simply put, I can’t live without water. 

Today I am grateful for social media and the internet. Through FB and Twitter and other means, I have been able to reconnect with old friends, meet new friends and develop so many more meaningful relationships in real life. I am also able to keep up with my kids via social media thus not feeliing like such an outsider. I love my ‘creepy internet friends’ one and all!

Today I am grateful for music. I love music as there is something for my every mood. I love that my children love music as well and that most times we can agree on something to listen to together. My kids introduce me to new music and keep me ‘hip’. My son is learning to play the guitar and longs to play “Blackbird” by the Beatles someday which warms my old heart.  Music feeds my soul and fills me up. 

Time to put away the tiki bar!

Today I am grateful for the seasons. I am grateful I live in a place where we get all 4 seasons … Sometimes on a 24 hour period! I love each season for a different reason but have to say fall is my favorite.
