Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  Another year has come and gone.  I hope 2010 was good to you, and that 2011 will be even better!  I am hoping for great things in the coming year.  I've been thinking a lot about the things in my control, as well as the things that aren't.  I am resolving to do my very best to manage those things in my control, and to learn to let go of all the rest of the things that I worry about far too much, most of which I have no control over anyway.

My 2011 resolutions goals: (because everyone knows that resolutions never last)
  • Pay more attention to my health:
  • Drink more water.
  • Take my vitamins.
  • Exercise more...at least walk the dog because she is getting pudgy too.
  • Be a better mom, wife, friend...do what I can for those I love.
  • Organize my world a little better.
  • Cook more at home and avoid the drive through windows.

I'm sure there will be more that will be great goals for the new year, but I think this list is a good start.


I wish all of you a very blessed new year that is filled with wonderful opportunities for happiness and prosperity.

SOL 3/31 I Made It!

Wow!  I made it. Thirty-one days of writing on this little blog.  I am so proud of myself for finishing the Slice of Life challenge, hosted by Ruth and Stacey at Two Writing Teachers.  I don't think that I could have imagined that I would finish a month of blogging. A month of writing.  I have truly enjoyed this challenge.  I remember why I love writing.  I have been able to try new styles of writing.  I have also been able to read some really powerful posts from some really terrific writers.  I have learned more about the subject that I teach.  I have come across great ideas for my classroom.  I have laughed and cried with others from around the world.  Thirty-one days may be a short blip in time, but thirty-one days has helped me to become a stronger writer.  Thank you to all the people who have read and commented.  That has meant a great deal to me.  I have grown to love the community of writers who support and e...

SOL 3/16 Plugging Away

16 of 31 for the Slice of Life Challenge from Two Writing Teachers Today is my 41st post for this blog.  When I started this a few years ago, I don't think I could have imagined where I am now.  Teaching again, Trying to get fit.  Juggling three teen/preteens and work and just life in general.  I know I couldn't have imagined that I would join a writing challenge that asked me to write everyday for a month.  I am sure that that Sarah would have just laughed, and said "Yeah, right!"  But here I am, on my 16th day of blogging consistently, writing my 41st post.  While I'm sure this achievement is a drop in the bucket for some, I am choosing to see this as a good starting point.  A place that I realized that I can write, even if my audience is pretty tiny.  I am making a start, and that is a pretty cool thing.
