In honor of Saint Patrick's Day, I am listing 17 reasons (in no particular order) why I am lucky. I have done this post before, and this time I wrote this post before I looked at the previous years.
I am lucky because...
- I'm married to my best friend of almost 33 years.
- I am the mother of grown children.
- I have a daughter who is a teacher and coach and loves what she does.
- I have a son who works with at-risk kids and is a great role model for a lot of boys who need him.
- my mother still remembers me.
- I have siblings who work together to make the best decisions for our mother.
- I get to be with middle school kids and share books with them every single day.
- I have the best colleagues who make me laugh.
- I understand the power of written words.
- I am surrounded by books to read.
- I belong to the best supportive writing group ever.
- I have administrators who support me as a teacher and a learner and who want me to be my best self.
- I am in good health.
- I am free to live out my faith.
- I am on spring break next week.
- bath and a book (with Dr. Teals) is next on my to-do list!
- I have another slice written.
