Thankful Thursday

I have been touring around the blog world and finding posts that deal with giving thanks. I thought I would give it a try because it could stretch me. I have a lot to be thankful for let me tell you. Here are just a few:
1. My children are healthy. They are happy, and they are learners. They both have very distinct personalities that most people like even. I am blessed to be given to them.
2. My house is a home. It is a great place to entertain, to be a family, and to just be a home. I am very blessed to live in such a dwelling.
3. I am thankful for whoever invented air conditioning. Indiana is hot in the summer and this summer has been even worse early on. I am thankful that I have central air.
4. I am thankful for the opportunity to go to the All Write conference, to read professional books to better myself, and to just take the summer to indulge in educating myself. To be a lifelong learner.
5. Friends. My world has been increasing in this area. I am blessed to work with some really great friends. They encourage me, pick my brain, and inspire me to work even harder at bettering my students. We have a conversation among us that usually ends with someone saying, "I just don't want to get to the end of this career and think 'have I done enough?' for my students." Keep inspiring friends!

Well, there you have it. 5 things I am thankful for. It's very reflective on a day that has been very good.
