I Am Lucky #sol18

Join Two Writing Teachers and other teacher-writers as we share a slice of life every single day in the month of March.

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I am listing 17 reasons, in no particular order, why I am lucky!

3. I have a son who has discovered the magic of music
4. I have children who have made parenting way too easy
5. I have two sisters who make being the middle child a blessing
6. I have a mother who continues to be independent and strong
7. I have a brother who can still be...a typical little brother
8. I have 7 high school friends who believe that distance apart brings us closer together
9. I am on spring break
10. I have piles and piles of books to read this week
11. I have great colleagues who put the laughter in teaching 
12. I have supportive administrators who help me to see the teacher I want to become
