i have been so busy this week, back at school and working on my classroom.
i am also doing a 10-day Master Cleanse as prescribed by my chiropractor
magical healer. i am on day #2. i feel surprisingly good and not incredibly hungry.
8 more days seems like a looooooooong time, but i am not giving up!
here's what i'm grateful for this week:
1. generous friends sharing cool paper + decor for my room
2. working with people who like to laugh
3. hearing my nephew's happy voice on the phone
4. crossword puzzles
5. new yarn
6. running into old students and hearing how well they're doing
7. crawling into my dreamy bed at the end of the day
8. waking up before the alarm
9. lemons
10. nice people who hold the door for others

kick ass at life!
