smile, you know you want to

I have been feeling so blessed lately, like overwhelmingly thankful for my life. I'm not sure when it hit me, but I've been trying to take things a day at a time and really appreciate what's going on. I certainly have worries, insecurities, and issues, but my troubles are nothing compared to what others are going through. The last few months my business has been, well, busy. And when I look over these faces I can't help but smile. Sometimes those in between moments are my favorites, people being who are they are, having fun, being happy.

It's Monday, and the start of a new school year for so many I love. As I enter my third year out of the classroom I'm still thinking about the first day. The excitement, the nerves, the tired toes after a summer of not standing around lecturing. :) I hope everyone has a great start to the new school year and take a minute to find a little joy in the day. This life is good, so smile - you know you want to.
