6. Health. Every day it amazes me how much I really take for granted our good health. I pray for this every day for our family and friends, and am beginning to realize how very important this is. Mental health included.
7. Little pleasures such as Marley's giggle, a pretty sunset, DJ's cute and squeezable cheeks, Adam's hug on a bad day, a warm blanket and getting cozy with the family, chocolate.
8. My amazing students. Every day I learn something from them. Today it was how brave they are to stand up to bullying when they see it because that takes guts. Also how generous they can be with their time, knowledge, and donations. A student told me the story today of how they donated clothes and blankets to a student in his aunt's class in Johnston. The family was overwhelmed with generosity. They had previously been using towels as blankets and said, "they had only seen clothes like these in magazines." Wow. This was in Johnston. I'm headed to my closet tonight to look for items that are just hanging there that might do someone else some good.
9. Watching kids learn in general. I got Marley a new puzzle tonight. Her first with 24 real pieces and not the block puzzles. For some reason I thought it was going to be really tough for her, but the girl whipped it right together without much help from me. It was so much fun to watch her figure it out. That "light bulb moment" as I call it. I live for that in my kids and my students.

10. Technology. If you didn't know this about me, it is my passion. Technology keeps me in a job. It makes me happy. It lets me share all this with you. It keeps my mind active. It keeps me connected. It makes me knowledgeable about the world. Just know it can suck you in and finding balance with technology, or anything for that matter is key. I'm working on my balance.
Again with the deep stuff. Hmmm.... that's so not like me, but it is lately it seems. Have a great rest of the week!
