Happiness

Yes, I am posting during school because I have a fabulous student teacher. I have had to learn to give up some control, which as many of you know can be hard, especially when it comes to my 17 "children". 

Lately I have been so happy. It's funny because it's not like I was super sad and depressed before, it's just that I have been blessed to feel this emotion and remember what it's like to be honestly happy.  Maybe it's because I will be in San Diego in a few short days.  Maybe it's because it's a new year and with it comes new experiences, new friends, and renewal. All i know is that I'm so thankful for being able to feel this way. In this world it seems like people are becoming increasingly depressed. I'm just thankful for my ability to be happy. 

Every night I write 3 things I'm thankful for in my "Gratitude Journal". Last night I wrote five. I could have written more and more, but it was past my bedtime.  I was just feeling very blessed. Hopefully this will continue.
