Can't really be Monday yet....

I can't believe it's Monday morning already and I'm sitting at my computer in my classroom. This is a precious time of day for me. I have my coffee, a computer (yay!) and peace and quiet. Ahhhh, at last.
My poor Kenny is still very sick, and may not be leaving for work for 8 days as planned because of it, so I am planning on taking care of him along with trying to finish up painting this week. My plate is full as usual, but it seems as though everything else is finally settling down. With all the deaths around our family lately, it really makes me slow down and appreciate smaller things....a sunset, the smell of rain, being with my mom and dad, a phone conversation with my brother, holding Kenny's hand....I've said it so many times before on this blog that we take things for granted all the time. And I always try to NOT do that, to really appreciate what I have and who I have, and keep in mind that life is short and there are too many things that get in the way of having a good day. I'll type it here on the blog, I'll say it to someone, and then I forget, and get caught up in "getting things done" or "hurrying up" through my day. So I'll say it again....I'm going to slow down today, and enjoy my students, and really watch them learn today. I am going to not think of all the things that I need to get done after work, but instead, focus on getting Kenny better and only doing what I can, and also, on helping my mom through this tough time she is having.
I'm pretty sappy for a Monday morning, eh? Oh well. I'm not embarrassed. I have really missed blogging every day! It's such a good feeling to hit the publish button and know I have an instant connection with my blogging friends. Since I don't have access to my own pictures right now (sniff, sniff), I'll upload a picture I found online of something to appreciate.

I hope to be able to catch up on everyone's blogs this week. I miss you all!
