Thankful Thing - Day 7
Today I'm thankful for genuinely nice people. Had a gentleman take a good 20 minutes out of his day to help me with something he didn't need to. He could have simply brushed me off but took the time to assist me. So sweet.
Post Edit: I left my North Face at a softball game a few weeks ago and have been hunting it down ever sense. I called the head of the league to try and track it down to the teams that played after me. This gentleman spent a large portion of his time calling captains, umpires and players alike trying to find my coat. Although it was never located, I still greatly appreciated his efforts.
Thankful Thing - Day 8
Today I am thankful for amazing coworkers. I've got some of the best around!
Post Edit: Now that I am typing this over a month later, I don't remember what exactly it was that caused me to write this post. However, this thankful thing still stands. My coworkers rock!
Thankful Thing - Day 9
Today I am thankful for running. While I may not be the best at it, and some runs just plain suck, I know there are plenty of people out there who don't have the ability to run and would love nothing more than to be able to do so.
Post Edit: Still so true. I have really been slacking on the running front. However, I ran three out of the last four days, and realized just how much I missed it! Running and I are going to have a kick-ass reunion this coming year!
Thankful Thing - Day 10
Today I'm thankful for my students. They rock (sometimes).
Post Edit: Again, I forget what specifically they did, but my kids really are awesome, SOMETIMES. They still drive me absolutely insane most days, but there are also those days where they literally make me smile all day long.
Thankful Thing - Day 11
Today I'm thankful for those who have served, are serving and will serve our country one day. Without you, I would not be here today. THANK YOU!
Post Edit: This will ALWAYS be something I am thankful for.
Thankful Thing - Day 12
Today I'm thankful for friends who travel to Boston for the weekend to visit me! ♥ you Hayley!
Thankful Thing - Day 13
Today I am thankful for friends who make me smile when I'm having a bad day.
Post Edit: I'm pretty sure this thankful thing was directed at my handsome friend Stephen. We had just started officially dating but hadn't told our mutual friends yet so I had to keep him incognito. Either way, he still makes me smile on a daily basis and I am oh so thankful for that and for him!
Thankful Thing - Day 14
Toady I am thankful for parents who are seriously invested in their child's success and are willing to do whatever is necessary to help them to flourish.
Post Edit: This all goes back to those darn kids I am thankful for. I remember this clearly - one of my kiddo's mother came in for his parent teacher conference. As a special ed. teacher, I get 1 of 3 parents: those who don't care (or put up the facade that they don't), those that do care but don't have the means to help like they want to, and those that care and do whatever they can to help their child. Unfortunately I usually get the former, and sometimes that middle one. Very rarely do I have the parent who is 100% invested in their child's success. However, this day, this parent was willing to do anything necessary to see her son succeed. We talked for nearly an hour about what WE could do TOGETHER to help her son. It was amazing and I truly am thankful for parents like her.
Thankful Thing - Day 15
Today I'm thankful for having so many things to be thankful for that I can't narrow it down to just one! But if I must, I'll say one of my kiddos telling me I'm gangster. Definitely made me laugh out loud.
Post Edit: We were doing character analysis and of course we had to analyze a character they knew quite well first - ME! So I modeled for them with what I say, do, feel, and look like. I gave one or two answers for each category and then asked them to come up with some of their own. Needless to say, one of my students called me gangster. When I asked him to provide evidence of how he got to that conclusion, he could not. However, it still made me laugh for a very long time!
Thankful Thing - Day 16
Today I'm thankful for pictures. It's amazing how looking back through photos of the past can make me smile!
Thankful Thing - Day 17
Today I'm thankful for all my amazing friends who came to Friendsgiving! I have the BEST friends around!
Post Edit: Friendsgiving will get its own post at some point because I have so many pictures from it. But needless to say, it was EPIC!
