Thankful Thursday, Friday-style

One day, one day, I'm going to get it together on a Thursday. Maybe.

Today I am thankful for...

• the never-ending, often surprising grace of the good Lord
• my family and friends
• my health, and the health of my loved ones
• the long-awaited, much-anticipated return of my voice...I have never gone completely mute like I did last week, and I hope to never do that again
• my job, the students I have the privilege of teaching, and the people I work with
• an entirely unexpected series of events this week...makes me smile and shake my head in wonder
• a three-day weekend
• a roof over my head, food to eat, clothes to wear, clean running water, electricity, a car to get around in, shoes on my feet
• the start of September, which means fall can't be too far away, even though it was 98 today...it's coming, folks, and this girl can't WAIT
• a successful Parent Academy last night, and an end to the nighttime school meetings for a while
• a clean little home
• a three-day weekend
• my super comfortable bed, and a chance to catch up on my sleep this weekend
• my beloved Auburn Tigers kicking off their season tomorrow...they're gonna have to do it without me, but I'll be cheering at the TV and can't wait!
• a three-day weekend

HAPPY WEEKEND, yall!
