My 100th Post!!! SOLC #8

Read more Slice of Life stories at
Two Writing Teachers
WOW!  I couldn't believe the number when I saw it... my 100th post on this blog!  I never thought I could write 1, 5 or 10 posts (let alone the SOL Challenge of 2012) but here I am - slicing and writing and sharing my opinions.

Today, on my sunny half birthday, I present a gratitude list!  Here's to another 100+ slices!

I'm thankful for

  • friends who inspire me to be myself
  • students who remind me to teach thoughtfully and to the best of my abilities
  • social media sites to keep me connected to a huge, knowledgeable professional development network
  • books, libraries, bookstores and book-loving people to talk with about my reading
  • funny ideas that make me laugh and wise quotations that make me think
  • my health (let's pretend I'm not exhausted from a long week!)
  • chocolate (!)
  • blue skies and sunshine - no matter what the season
  • my blog readers and fellow slicers
  • Friday ('nuff said)
I'm most thankful for my family.  They are patient, understanding, kind and my favorite people on the planet.

Woo hoo! It's my 100th post!

    Quite a milestone - congrats! And I've enjoyed reading each of them. Your grateful list is great - and yes, we can be so thankful for loving, caring families. Keep writing!
