Pedicure!

Thursday, May 29th: So happy to have had the opportunity to get a pedicure with my girls tonight! Summer is coming!

Watching Old Videos

Wednesday, May 28th: Tonight we watched some old videos of the girls when they were little. It reminds me of how very grateful I am for my family and how much we have all grown……On another note, today Maya Angelou died. I have read her writing for years now and am in deep respect of her work and her way of being. I aspire to be like her.  RIP.

Beach Time!!!

Sunday, May 25th: Lewes Beach!

Monday, May 26th: Grateful for a safe and speedy trip home from the beach today.

Tuesday, May 27th: Today I walked into work to find a bag a chocolate in my mailbox. When the kids came in, one brought me a tomato plant and another brought me two healthy treats. To top it all of, my co-worker returned my sweater that she fixed for me. Easy day…..appreciation from many…..very grateful!

Wednesday, May 21: Today we took our elementary classes to Camp Donegal to start our spring camping trip. I am grateful that even in the pouring rain, the children were excited and had fun.

Thursday, May 22: Today I remembered how much I love being out in nature and working with children out in nature too.

Friday, May 23: So very, very grateful to have gone on this camping trip with like minded, patient, and loving people. It made the trip so enjoyable knowing that others were there to support and have fun.

Saturday, May 24:  Yahoo!!! Heading to Rehobeth Beach today for some relaxation time! I love that we have amazing friends and that we get to spend some time with them this weekend.

Monday, May 19th: So grateful to go to an angel meditation tonight. My message was to ground myself amidst all the stuff swirling around me and all the balls I am juggling. Love the relaxation meditation brings!

Tuesday, May 20th: So grateful for my snuggle partner tonight. He is always excited for Tony and I to sit down on the sofa after putting the girls to bed!

Conquering the Hill

Sunday, May 19th: Today after a lovely brunch with my dad and Carol and a helpful writing group meeting, I went for a run. The hill on my street is HUGE and making it up even part of the way is an accomplishment for me. Today I was feeling a bit tight but really wanted to go for the run. I was feeling pretty good and had alot on my mind so I did not give up while heading back up the hill towards my house. I made it up the hill and the other hills on the way back to my house without stopping. A huge victory especially so early in my running season!

Finding Gratitude

Thursday, May 15th: Today I led a group of students in a button bracelet making session. Their enthusiasm over a tin of buttons was amazing! I love working with children so very much!

Friday, May 16th: Tonight I had a reminder of how important girlfriends are. I went to a bridal shower with a bunch of my co-workers. These ladies are so supportive and loving towards each other. The night was bittersweet as many of us will be leaving the school next year. I love that I have had the opportunity to work with each of them throughout these past four years.

Saturday, May 17th: Today was a great day. It started with taking the girls to swimming lessons. Then we went shopping for some journals that they will use for their ABC books that they are creating in school. I came home and did some writing and then we dropped the girls off at a birthday party. We spent time catching up with a friend and then went back to the party to hang out with the parents there. Again, bittersweet in a way and at the same time so grateful to have had the chance to know and teach these beautiful children.
