Good Morning
This is turning out to be an eventful winter were weather is concerned here in Nebraska. This morning it is only 1 degree and we had icy rain that turned into a snow mix over night. Driving to work should be interesting today.
I hope everyone reading this is well and looking forward to the next 2 weeks. I am ready and anxiously awaiting Christmas this year. My house is decorated, we have lights inside and outside, the presents are bought, wrapped, and under the tree. I feel fortunate to be prepared this year. It is much more enjoyable to look forward to Christmas that to STRESS about the holiday.
We had a BIG event happen over the weekend. My daughter graduated from college on Saturday. It was a great weekend. Her brothers and some freinds got to share in the festivities with us. We traveled to Colorado for the ceremony and we were grateful that the weather cooperated. We returned on Saturday pulling a U-Haul trailer full of her belongings. This is an ending and new beginning for her and we are very proud of our middle child. She has a bright future!
Try to enjoy the next 2 or 3 weeks. Relax and try to decide what is really important--do those things and let the rest go.
Take care,
MissT

No Excuses
I have been reading and listening to self help and spirituality, books and CDs. So, I am tempted to apologize for not entering a blog for 5 or 6 days--but, the CDs say that we need to not use excuses. So, I will say that life has taken me away from my computer and now I am back. It is good to be back and I hope someone reading this is glad that I am back.
Thought for the Day:
Try to go one day without uttering an excuse. You may be surprised how many times you use them.
I am looking forward to my day. It started early; I am up doing laundry and other things before the sun has risen. I will be tired tonight--early--but I am enjoying this time now and that is good.
I am embarking on a new adventure--at 51 I am going to go back to school and get a Master's--maybe even a PHD. WOW! I never thought I would do that. Well, I feel that we have to stay open to being lead by our life experiences. I feel I am being lead to go down this path. It feels a bit scary--but in a good way--like being at the top of the highest point of a roller coaster right before you start to plunge!!! (Well, that is, if you like roller coasters like I do.) I feel excited, nervous, but I know it will be an enjoyable ride with lots of twists and turns, some expected, some unexpected, but I bought the ticket, strapped myself into the seat, and here I go!
I am trying to see this as an adventure and not a chore or something I have to do. I want very much to be successful at this endeavor--but, at my age, if it does not work out--if I do not finish the whole thing, that will be OK too. That too will lead me to the next thing and life will go on. I will meet interesting people along the way and definitely learn a lot in the process. That in its self is good and worthy of much effort I think.
My hope for myself and for my readers is that you and I will go out into this world we live in today--make not excuses--just do our best and enjoy each other.
Take care,
MissT

FRIDAY
Friday. Friday. Friday.
What a wonderful day. I have a small class on Friday--11 in the morning and only 8 in the afternoon. I so look forward to this small group that can be putty in my hands if I have a fun, interesting lesson planned. There are things you can do with 11 children that are just too complicated with 24. Everyone gets a chance to speak during line time (if they have something to say--which 3 to 6 year old children usually do); we can have snack together and it does not take so long for everyone to get served; everyone can have a table and chair at snack instead of sitting in a circle on the floor--much more comfortable for the 50 something teacher--and I assume for the children as well. I LIKE FRIDAYS!
Go out and find something good about Fridays--other than it is the beginning of the weekend. Find something different--change your focus--think bigger than before--give it a try and I hope you all have a wonderful FRIDAY, and enjoy the weekend.
