grateful friday

inspired by michelle.

i am grateful ...

for the 28 plus hugs i get each day.

that my students parents will fight to keep our school.

that my students want to fight to keep our school.

for my shorties.

for my colleagues who really do believe that children come first.

for the smuggled peanut butter from the cafeteria to make bird-feeders.

for pink champagne after one of the longest day that i thought i could ever endure.

that my husband made the cornbread that i thought i had to come home and make.

for handmade valentines.

for the extended deadline to get report cards done.

for all of the people who have offered to help fight for what all children everywhere deserve.

for this fire that feeds my soul everytime i think about the injustice that my children face everyday.

for all of the love of my family and friends.

for life.
