It's that time of year again - back to school! It's amazing how fast the summer goes, and this summer flew by. I had a long to-do list, but accomplished very little due to my ill-fated ACL recovery. However, I am finally getting some action from the docs - and just in time to go back to teaching! So, the summer to-do list will have to wait until next year.
In the meantime, we did some neat things this summer. We visited my uncle in D.C. and had a great time. We rocked the Mall with the Girl Scouts' 100th anniversary celebration. We went geocaching. We camped out in the backyard. We went to the movies. We rescued 4 wild baby birds. We adopted a retired greyhound racer. We enjoyed some down time. We restarted our prayers and positives before bedtime.
Now, we are in nearly full swing of the fall season. Hard to believe, given it's still summertime! But, football has been going since the end of July and my first day at school is today - freshman orientation. It's hard to believe that I am returning to the classroom already. The kids' school starts in a week and a half and dance starts in September.
I am ready for the changes. I think the kids are, too. It's nice to have a routine again, albeit a very EARLY in the morning routine. I believe this change will do us good.
Today I am thankful for me...for continuing to have the strength and courage to continue finding joy in life. I am thankful for my kiddos...they are incredibly caring, compassionate, loving and forgiving. I could learn a thing or two from them.
