Although I'm not officially Irish...today is a good day to notice and note how lucky I am.
My family is healthy (sure we have the quarantine 15), I'm fully vaccinated and my husband and younger daughter get their vaccines this week! My parents and father-in-law are also set with theirs.
As we wrap up quarter three at school, I've managed to fit in to a new school and help my 6th graders navigate their transition to middle school while in a pandemic.
We have started sowing seeds in plastic containers in the backyard. This summer we will grow and harvest all kinds of yummy veggies.
Most days my family sits down to dinner together and checks in with one another. Some days there are some intense discussions, but we come back to the table each evening.
Although I want to update many things at our home (deck, driveway, porch, etc!), it's a warm, cozy place with room for the family to gather or spread out to have our own space.
I'm lucky for this challenge to ensure I stop to reflect and write and be grateful.
Your slice helped me reframe my thinking! We are all fortunate to be alive right now and I loved the way you shared your list of gratitudes!
ReplyDeleteThis past year has really made me grateful for many things I took for granted. I love your list and how it reminded me to remember how lucky I am too!
ReplyDeleteThis Slice has given me an idea that I want to put forth to my students tomorrow. I'm really glad that you've been able to fit into a new school. That's something that is very hard to do sometimes.
