Grateful

Friday has come and is almost gone...it's late in the day for me to be writing, but here I am writing. Challenges push me out of my comfort zone. Blogging at night is strange to me, but since I haven't had two minutes to sit down and write all day...here I am. 

I am going to write a list...a gratitude list...

I'm grateful for an extra-long walk with Bella,

for student producers on B-AM News,

for good friends who show up,

for unexpected laughter.

I'm grateful for a co-teacher who knows when I need a break,

for students who teach me,

for time to read and write alongside them, 

for my acai-blueberry-pomegranate vitamin water,

for an impromptu visit to Red Robin, 

for the quiet bedroom where I end my day.

I'm grateful for the wagging tail I see,

for the lessons I learn, 

for the mistakes I make, 

for the words I write.

Thank you.
