Celebrate Turn #2


I am ever so grateful to Ruth Ayres for inviting us to share and celebrate events, big or small, from our week.

January was a tough month for me, and I was happy to be able to turn the calendar page.  I have not written a celebration post since early January.  

Today I celebrate hard things, because through hard things I become stronger.

I celebrate rainy days and my husband's wisdom for planning and knowing there will always be one...someday.  

I celebrate mentors and the rekindling of relationships with students...even those separated by a period of absence.

I celebrate short evenings alone with my husband...knowing in our hearts and dreading the day when these evenings become days or weeks or months.

I celebrate my daughter's smile and the feeling in her heart...knowing she has made the right decision.

I celebrate a sweet message from a friend...I have missed your celebrations.

I hope you have a week filled with celebrations.

  6. January is often one of the hard months for me - I'm always sad to say goodbye to Christmas and it's a long month. February feels short and sweet. I'm glad that you looked for the celebration in rainy days and hard times. Glad you received a sweet message from a friend. Happy to hear from you today and praying for easier days ahead.

  8. I'm glad you've gotten through January. I was thinking that today too, that sometimes I want to just fast forward through certain days. But then I might miss that one little positive thing that happened that day. I hope February brings you light.
