Yesterday's wisdom, today's joy and tomorrow's hope.

I am struggling right now to really appreciate where I am.

But I strive to live each day to the best of my ability.


Thankful for my Abigail and her friendship. Her insane thirst for knowledge and joyful desire to learn. Her reserved spirit and her habit of testing me. She teaches me far more than I can claim to teach her.

Thankful for my Melia and her happy spirit. She sings & dances her way through each day, I swear that girl excudes more joy than the Dallas C0wboy cheerleaders! Her spiritual intuition blows me away daily.

Thankful for my little man, Axel. He is a smart little runt and I love his stinky guts! His cheese face is the bomb.com! His hugs and kisses are teh best medicine for this Momma's weary heart.

Thankful for all my family...They irritate me more often than not...but I know that at the end of the day~they still love me and only want the best for me.

For my other family...the ones who don't have to, but love me anyhow. The ones who are there when I need them, no questions asked.

For all my kids...each year I think about each of the families I have worked with and reflect on what each has taught me. I may have a degree from Liberty University~ but I learned far more from the kids who each hold a chunk of my heart.

This doesn't even scratch the surface...but at least it's something. It's now 10pm and my bed beckons me.
