Gratitude

Gratitude goes a long way.  I thrive off of a 'thank you' or 'good job'.  The other day one of my students stopped by to give me some 'brown e's'. Yes, they were e's cut out of brown paper left on my doorstep with a note for April Fool's.  I loved it! Luckily I looked outside just I time to stop them from driving away to share a good laugh.  Such a simple gesture, but the fact that they drove out to my house over our 1st grade spring break was one of the sweetest things I have ever seen.

I need to do more thank yous. Yep! It gives me anxiety thinking about handwriting thank you cards, so until I can get over that I will stick to phone calls or texts.  

Here are some thank you's I want to share now:

1. Thank you to my sweet husband for doing the dishes 90% of the time.

2. Thank you to my sweet boy and his cuddles right before he goes down for bed.

3. Thank you to his birth mom for being my friend.

4. Thank you to my parents for their support in all that I do.

5. Thank you to my siblings for fun times.

6. Thank you to God for everything

7. Thank you to friends who understand, or try to understand me.

8. Thank you to the sky for being so unpredictable. It keeps me entertained.

9. Thank you to science. I love you!

10. Thank you to Charlie for forcing me to take time to go outside and play.
