Celebrating Simplicity
Thank you Ruth for inspiring me to always look for the celebrations in life!
Join us and share your celebrations!
This week was so busy it feels like a distant memory. Slowing down this weekend! Celebrating the simple joys of life...
Reading a good book.
Watching students learn, struggle, laugh.
Being known.
That first sip of coffee.
Using just the right pen to write.
Writing.
Fancy red chairs at Red Robin.
Collaborative poetry.
Intentional friendships.
Seeing God in my hard moments.
Quiet.
Bella.
Compliments.
People seeing my potential and believing in me.
Opportunities.
Surprises.
Saying YES.
Saying no.
Listening to music.
Life.
Life.
Life.
Saying no. As hard as that can be-I celebrate this with you! (And I love those red chairs--I want some in my kitchen!) A lovely poem gathering up celebrations!
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly the "end of the year" madness in your part of the country - and so your post reads like a memory of teaching in Maryland and living in Virginia. Memorial Day was always the wrap-it-up whirl-wind weekend. Up here, we still have a month to go....so things are calmer....for now.....Your message of celebrating the simple pleasures is so, so, so important. Have a good - restful - weekend.
ReplyDeleteCompliments and people believing in us - we all need it. I am glad you week held both.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to reflect on your week! You truly live with a grateful heart. Enjoy your weekend!

Here's to believing in you and life. Sounds like the school year is winding down in a good way. Happy long weekend Michelle.
ReplyDeleteI love this - you pared down your week (and what a week it was) to the things that count. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove that you wrote a list like this one, Michelle, and adored those red chairs when I saw your pic! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the last lines...life, life, life. I always believe that saying no allows you to say "yes" to something else. I hope you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bit of cheer you just shared with us. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteYour potential is strong, Michelle and so is exuberance for life. Continue to celebrate as the school year winds down.
ReplyDeleteA long list of ordinary wonderfulness. Hope your last days of school bring joy.
ReplyDeleteLove that you took the time to slow down and celebrate your week through this lovely list. Reading a good book - the best! I got to do that this week too.
