Three days into a 30-day commitment and I've already failed. So, to make up for it, I'll tell two things I'm thankful for.
First, I'm thankful for quiet days at home. Yesterday was one of those days. Now, by quiet I don't mean that I sat around and listened to the hum of the appliances. It was still a busy day. But, it was a busy day in the quiet solitude of my home. After a hectic few days away from the house, I'm always reminded that this social gal still craves the solitude of my own home to relax and recharge.
Second, I am thankful for our community's school district. Each year, Bud and I prayerfully reconsider schooling options for our children. So far, we believe that we are in God's will in sending Kat to our local public school. Is it perfect? Not by any means - no school is. But it's a great district filled with administrators, faculty and parents who care about education and work hard to provide the best possible for our students. Beyond the classroom, we are blessed to be in a district that is able to provide exceptional opportunities for the students to participate in sports and the arts. I was especially reminded of my thankfulness as I watched Kat dance in our district-wide dance recital today.

Good schools are nothing to take for granted...we have a great district here too!
And those quiet days at home...I never thought I'd like them, but I crave them sometimes now. I wouldn't want to be stuck home alone for too many days, but aaahh, when I get one or two days...
Thanks for linking up!
Our school is great but it is also high school... a large concentration of teenagers with different beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes toward others. Not perfect by any means but my girls seem to be managing to be salt and light.
My quiet days at home are numbered. Bryan is wanting me to go full time at his office. To be honest, I'm scared :)
