Thank You, yes YOU!
The other day as I was reading the 5th grade boys the riot act, I was filled with a thankful heart. I was thankful that I was working in a school where riot act talks were only given once in a while. I was thankful that I was upset by a first world problem, not something life or death. I was thankful that we have such good children who we are blessed to have in our lives everyday, and that they make such typical mistakes that allow us to help them learn to be better. As we live each day, I hope for all of you that your daily struggles are bearable, and your blessings outweigh them by tenfold.
