Picture
Three gratitudes: 1.—The realization that I DO have another pair of clean pants for tomorrow, so I don't have to do laundry; 2—Seeing a former student play ball; 3—Getting a jumpstart on next week's lesson plans... Lord of the Flies (Remember that one?)
Exercise:
Meditation: Prayed a rosary with special intentions for (too) many friends who have lost loved ones within the past month.
Random Act of Kindness email: Complete

Journal about one positive experience in the past 24 hours:

I received texts this week with pictures of people holding up LINES—.  What a treat!  I just want to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me on my writing journey. I know I have a lot of improvements to make as a writer, but in all honesty, that journey, even with the mistakes and critiques, is more rewarding than the final products. Anyone who knows me, knows that first and foremost, I am a mom and teacher. My writing time is limited, but I truly look forward to keeping at it.  Your comments and encouragement matter, and I am most appreciative!
