The Sunrise Story

My favorite things about this break... a more relaxing morning routine more time to read & write & create lunches out with friends going to see a matinee the freedom to make my own schedule The things I don't like about this break... lots of alone time feeling invisible sometimes rain and chilly weather no traveling so much to get done Yet as this break comes to an end I'm grateful for time to reflect I'm grateful for time to write I'm grateful for time to finish things I'm grateful...

Dear Spring Break, I'm so excited that you are arriving today. I've been waiting and waiting for you! Now that you're here, I don't even know what to do first. Here are some must do's on my list: I want to go and see at least two movies! I want to read a couple of really good books! Spending time with my friends each day will be a goal too! Hopefully, the weather will be warm so I can get outside for long walks with Bella too. It all won't be fun and games, though. I understand. Grading must be completed along with a couple of other projects for school. I have to clean out my garage along with other house projects. These may not be fun, but I will feel good when it's all finished. Spring Break, I will make sure to spend time each day being productive, as well as having fun. Remind me that it's ok to just be during this time. Remind me that each moment I spend is precious. Thank you for the rescue! It's been a busy school year and a break will do m...

We have one week of school before spring break. Five days...well, maybe five days. Here in Northern Virginia, we've had no snow this year. None. We've been living in the middle of a snow-hole. Every time a big storm comes, we get nothing. Being born and raised in Massachusetts, I am missing my snow.  This week we have another big storm forecasted and this time it looks like it might actually get us. I'm excited. What's funny is the build-up!  Sunday night was filled with a texting conversation like this... Here are a few comments on a Facebook post where I asked for predictions... Snow days...I have to say, I love them. Here's to one or two this week! March is the Slice of Life Challenge. I'll be sharing a post each day in the month of March.

Thank you to Stacey, Betsy, Dana, Tara, Beth, Anna, Kathleen & Deb for this amazing platform to write and share writing! What a wonderful community you've created! I'm honored to be part of it. Join us at Two Writing Teachers . I'm going to be completely honest. It's Thursday night and I am currently co-moderating a Twitter chat (shhh, don't tell I slipped over here for a moment!) and worried I won't think of anything to write. I notice a tweet with a slice of life post by Beth called Spring Break Resolutions . It's a great post, you should stop over and read it! This idea is all her idea...I'm just adding my twist to it. One more day of school and spring break is upon us. No trips this year. I've decided to get some things done, but when my plans stay so vague...nothing ever gets accomplished. I'm going to make a top ten list of resolutions for my spring break to help me out. Here we go... 10. Finish my taxes 9. Clean OUT my ga...
