Day 1

Ok, here goes. I tried really hard to be aware of things today. I want to make sure that I pick my three things to be grateful for from some experiences or happenings from each day. So let me just say today was an extremely difficult day for me. That being said, I woke up to several comments on my blog, some of which made me cry.

#1  I am grateful for my mother and my daughter both. You both inspire me. Brittany, I can only hope that I was as good of a mother to you and Jonathan as you are to Lilly. I have never seen a better mother. Momma, thank you for the scripture to start off my day.Just in case anyone would like to read it, 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8. Very good verses to start this new path.

#2 As I rode the activity bus around our school neighborhood after school today, I realized that I am grateful for my home. I have been very fortunate to have always live in a wonderful home. I'm not talking about expensive or lavish… I talking clean, warm, safe, loving, whole. I was brought up in a wonderful home and my husband and I were blessed to raise out children in several wonderful homes. I see the homes and situations that my students have to deal with, on a daily basis, and wonder how they ever learn anything while at school.

#3 I am grateful for the relationships I have with my friends. Today, like I mentioned earlier, was a terrible day. Pat Martin, knows me all to well. She took one look at me this afternoon and immediately hugged me…she knew, without a word, I needed that hug and that something was wrong!! Thank you to all my friends that helped me get through this day, commented on my blog, and said words of encouragement. I truly am blessed.

So for the inactivity…By the time this long, hard day was over, I was driving home at 7:00 pm. I was exhausted, had a migraine, and ready to just sit and rest. So I will have to count the 6 laps that I walked around our school today as my activity. (It is more than I usually do because I try not to lap our school at all, lol)

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for this day. Even though it was hard, I made it through and have three wonderful things to be grateful for. Please bless my friends and family and keep them in your care.
In Jesus name, Amen

Good night!
