Ice Show

Attended the local skating club show this weekend to watch Bella and several other Iron Mountain students perform, it was so enjoyable to see the girls so poised and excited to be in the spotlight. The youngest skaters were precious in their sparkling ruffled tutus making their way across the ice. Made me wish I a had little one again to enjoy all those special moments with. It was really heartwarming to watch the skaters especially those dancing solo doing spins and jumps and the courage it took to get up and keep skating after a fall or wobble. The comedic highlight was the father daughter dance with the dads in drag, fun for the audience and the guys. So glad I went, it made me realize that I need to go to events more often even though Jim and Amanda are past the stage of having something for mom and dad to come watch.

Spring Cleaning

Even though I am not a neat person by nature, I love the effects of spring cleaning! I worked today at getting my classroom ready for my long term sub to take over for me while I am out for surgery and by the end of the day my room looked 100% better and I left feeling much better about my room and myself! Wish I would be motivated to do a clean sweep on a more regular basis. I still have a hard time getting rid of things but reorganizing and straightening files and piles made the room look fresh and more open. I am hopeful that once a I get past the first couple of weeks after surgery I will have the time and energy to accomplish some much needed spring cleaning at home!

It's been years...literally!

Just rediscovered this blog after 3 years away from blogging and realized how nice it would have been if I had kept it up! It was great to reread the comments I had posted and think about what was significant at the time. There are so many times I make a plan and then don't follow through that I think keeping track of what is important to me along with new thoughts and ideas would be a positive way to keep on track and to be able to look back and reflect on those ideas later.

When I look back on my posts from 2008 I feel gratitude for all that I have and the things I enjoy and am able to do.
