SOL Day 11 - Today's Word Is Blessed

What a wonderful day. I actually woke up before the alarm, and enjoyed a quiet start to the day. The parking lot was empty at the start of early worship - can't say I've ever gone to early worship the Sunday of daylight savings before! That was a first! 

 We went to Mockingbird Dinner for brunch following bible class. The last time we went there for brunch, we missed the time cut off - they stop brunch at 11:00. Today we made it with minutes to spare! I guess most people were still sleeping in to make up for losing the hour. Breakfast was delicious and I highly recommend the orange roll.

 Tonight I'm watching old movies while I try to decide what I want to do tomorrow. The possibilities are endless. 

 Favored, fortunate, privileged...today I am feeling blessed.

    It sounds as though your Sunday was exactly as God intended--restful.

SOL Day 15 - Today's Word Is Random

Today's the first day that I have sat down to write without an idea already brewing. So here are some random thoughts... Seems to me if we want students to believe that we consider them the future of our country, then maybe we should listen to what would make them feel safe at school.  I get the whole right to bear arms - just not sure I can connect that to the right to bear automatic weapons.  I love to watch mindless television shows like Survivor. I know they have no redeeming value, but I like them because I don't have to think. My favorite hobby is reading. When I'm really into a book, I'm torn between wanting to see how it turns out and not wanting the book to end. As soon as I finish a book, I usually buy a new one. I am enjoying writing in this blog more than I ever thought I would.  Without definite aim, reason, or pattern...today's word is random.

SOL Day 8 - Today's Word Is Thankful

The two curriculum directors I spend the most time with are both highly talented educators. I love the way we begin with one idea, and each add a different perspective. The final product is always better than any of us could have done alone. I love having a part in the teamwork. Our curriculum team presented our review materials to assistant principals today. Just like yesterday, they clapped as we unveiled the resources. Both times I had to hold myself back from taking a bow! Ha! Tomorrow is the beginning of a much needed break. I don't have specific plans for the days off, but that alone is a fabulous feeling! No schedule, no plans. Grateful, appreciative...today I am thankful.

SOL Day 7 - Today's Word Is Joy

I love my job! No two days are exactly the same, and the work is challenging. Eleven years ago, I declared my intentions to work my way towards this position. A year and a half ago, I finally succeeded. I cried, no sobbed is a better word, for a full twenty minutes when I got the call. Now we are working on a restructuring that I DO believe will benefit our students. I can see the potential, and I understand the need. It doesn't make facing the end of the dream any easier to bear.  So how do you make peace with that? For me, it means setting my frame of mind before I leave the house. I believe that happiness is mostly a choice. There are countless blessings to see if I'm looking with that as a focus. There are also countless irritations and doubts if I let that be the focus.  Joy - delight, happiness, well-being. Today's word is joy. I choose joy.
