Today I am reminded how lucky and thankful I am to have close girlfriends to share the annual tradition of watching the Oscars together for over 25 years. It’s always a fun, laughter-filled night….especially when I win!!

Today I’m grateful for two things: 1. a relaxing afternoon laying in the sun and reading in the park with my husband and
2. being married to a guy who doesn’t hesitate to drag himself out of bed at 10:00 at night to take me to get cake.

I’m grateful for free Friday Breakfasts for faculty at my school….even if the only thing I can actually enjoy is the bacon.

I’m thankful when I find examples of creative recycling being used. Less glass in a land-fill is always a good thing.

Sometimes it’s the little things that really make me the most grateful….like the convenience of elevators.

After introducing my 4th grade students to the surreal world of Rene Magritte, I’m thankful that they really got in to the lesson and amazed me with their creative ideas.

Since being near death’s door for the past 4 days, I have been very grateful for many things (unfortunately, I wasn’t able to capture them all in photos):

I’m so lucky and grateful to have a husband who spoils me. On Valentine’s Day and every other day of the year.

As I succumb to yet another sinus infection, I am grateful for Kleenex and their tissues.
