Grateful to be a teacher with the gift of spring break
Grateful for old friends that fit like a well worn pair of jeans Grateful for three boys - grass-stained knees, big emotions, brotherly love, and all Grateful for a husband who bathes children, cleans up dishes, folds laundry, tidied rooms, cleans bathrooms, who simply just pulls his weight Grateful for low-key reunions with friends from times gone by, who accept my tardiness and entourage in tow Grateful for a gliding chair, a baby that fights sleep, and the chance to sit and slow down Grateful for the promise of tomorrow, the chance to try again Grateful for this writing month of March, which forces me to don a writer’s lens, to examine each moment with precision, and to find something, anything, in each day

I enjoyed your accounting, even as I've been playing with the gift of spring break for the past week and tomorrow I get to open whatever mystery box the return to school serves up. Enjoy your time off!

Thanks! The first half always goes nice and slow, with the second half speeding by. Hopefully your return has been uneventful!

This is beautifully written. I am grateful to document these small moments each year during the month of March too!

I never realized how much fun it would be to look back each year!
