Tests

So, yeah, I'm supposed to be marking tests now. I have 18 to mark before 2:30. So I'd better get to it. But I just wanted to take a minute to do my gratitudes:

I am grateful for my students, who make me think and who teach me more than I could ever teach them.

I am grateful for my coworkers, who are a chosen family of a kind. We all look out for each other, and it's good.

I am grateful for days that are not too hot...not too cold...just right. I am a Baby Bear.

I am grateful for options...

I am grateful to have been born an American!

I am grateful to have gotten an excellent education, during the course of which I was encouraged to THINK and to use my gifts.

I am grateful to now have a wonderful job that lets me help others, pays decently, and that allows me to have self-respect. I am grateful for this every single day.
