Halloween









What a perfect night for trick or treating! Lilly's fifth year and she had a great day of celebrating. It has been so much fun having my little ghost around!

Ahh Hal'O' Eve.
Coming up soon.

I was heckled by a dear friend as to why I have not been posting to the blog lately..."oh, it's that Facebook thing, isn't it?"
Sheepishly I retorted,
"Well, you could always get a page..."

Clearly that was not happening.
So decided to write a bit here .
Good thing about the blog is that you can actually sit down and compose thoughts at length. The other good thing about MY blog is that --I can say with almost certainly-- very few people read it or even know it exists.
So if you are reading this--thanks.


ON THE FRONT:
Life is good!

I'm not free falling off the back of my couch but I am pretty happy with things at the moment.
Can one be content about work, home and love all at the same time? Perhaps fleeting, but if so, I am there at this moment.
I understand that people are put in our lives for reasons--some stay around awhile, so are migratory. I am pretty damn happy that the people I have in mine have not been fleeting as of late.

I love deeply and sincerely and give as much as I can to those few people who return it to me.

I suppose the educator of the year is something I should consider a once-in-a-career type occurrence. I honestly have not been sure how to respond to it, to others who congratulate me and how I tell anyone about it as it seems like we all work hard--we should all be recognized.
Still, in this small space I will mention that I received this award and it has in a small way helped me to come to grips with the fact that I might actually be a damn good teacher.


My girl is growing up so fast. I love her so much and am just so amazed at what she can do. She has many talents that are obvious, some that only a few see. Still, she (without bias) will be unstoppable -self-confident and charming beyond belief. It is cool to see.

Life is good. Hope it is where you are as well....
