    As I watch your children rest, I think about how thankful I am. I am thankful for each of them. I ask you to write why you were thankful for your child. I appreciate your answers and I appreciate that you were willing to share with me and others who may read them. They are all precious and special in so many ways. It is amazing how much they enrich my life and bring so much to our classroom. It makes me know that the world is not so awful and there is such good that will come.Sometimes I look and them and try to imagine what they will do with their lives. I have such great hopes and dreams for them.
     
    I am thankful that I am here, surrounded by loving children. I am thankful that I can teach them and inspire and encourage them. I am thankful that I have the children to teach and inspire and encourage me. Where could I work where it was perfectly normal to receive hugs, love notes, kisses, and compliments everyday? Where could I go to be told things that build me up and make me feel wanted, needed, and loved all of the time? Where could I work that allows me to dance and sing in the middle of the day? I am thankful that you are willing to trust me with your children. I am a very lucky person. And after a long, hard, tiring day, I get to go home to a wonderful husband and three great grandsons! I am truly blessed!

    Well! Here I go! I am not too much for BLOGGING, but I have decided to give it a try! Some days, I have so much to say about our day that I feel like I need an outlet and other days I am better to keep my day to myself. I guess I am much like you and everyone else. I have decided that after all of these years, I should give my husband Doug a rest at night and try to "vent" the good things to you! Unfortunately, he might still get to hear the "rants" occasionally!
     
    Today was one of those great days! You know the kind...the ones that make you know it is worth the late afternoons and the early mornings. The ones that make you feel good about the runny noses and wet shoelaces you tie. The kids were awesome today. They "got" the workshops and they "loved" the stories and they "listened" to  the group lessons. But, more importantly, they really liked everything we did and they were so enthusiastic about learning today. Their faces were awake and alive. Their eyes were wide and they were eager to participate. I hope you can see through my description what I saw in your children today! It was a GREAT DAY!
     
    Thanks for listening and thanks for sharing your children with me today. When you put them down tonight, give them a special hug and kiss. Give them one for me! They are special kids.
