Woah! It HAS been that long!!

Goodness! Where have we been? The answer to that... on the track, at Estacado, maybe at 82nd Street Cafe......or on the softball field, or even in a classroom at Coronado....any of the above would be a fair guess. But just know that it has been fun! and speaking of fun......YEA FOR SPRING!! Doesn't it make you smile when everything is turning green and flowers are blooming? I just LOVE it! Maybe it really is because of the warm weather and God's glory seeming to shine through, but I would by lying if I said it had nothing to do with the fact that there are 33 days of school left.

I have heard a lot of neat quotes or uplifting ideas lately...I don't know what it is recently, but they seem to all come around the same time. So just thought I would share!


Tell the truth.....all the time. (This guy said, I'll take an honest person over a hip one any day...honesty lasts forever, hip it temporary.) pretty good point!

"Don't tell people how to live their lives, tell them stories and they will figure out how that applies to their life." Sounds like everyone's grandmother doesn't it?

I heard a guy with REALLY BAD cancer say, " Sometimes you walk off the football field and you gave absolutely everything you had, but the score did not turn out how you wanted it." He said, "I am not going to beat this cancer, but I am going to give absolutely everything I have until it is time for me to walk off the field." ( This was the most fun positive person I had seen, despite his condition!)

What a great perspective on life! If you are interested in his book, it is called The Last Lecture. I can't think of the author's name, but I will get that to you!

It is fun learning new perspectives and becoming incredibly thankful for each "tiny moment" that we are given each day.

My tiny moments today were....

Singing LOUD in the car on the way to work.
Laughing with my students in class.
dodging a softball thrown at me and not the person CATCHING IN! ha
and...
having my husband come home and kiss me on the lips!!!
all of this making me realizing God is perfect and loves us oh so much! GOODNESS!

What was the best part about your day?
