Thursday Thankfulness
Despite the fact that it hasn’t gone above 65 in our house yet today, I am still in a surprisingly good mood. Thankfulness for today:
I am thankful that both my kids did well on their second quarter report cards. Gus is doing a little better with his IEP goals; out of 27 goals, he’s progressing in about 19 of them. Last quarter that progress number was much lower. His academic report is good, especially in Reading, Social Studies and Science. MM showed great improvement in her writing and is doing really well in math and reading. Her teacher also called her a “delight” and a “good example” in the class. Sorry for the bragging, but I allow myself a proud mommy moment once in a while.
I am thankful that Gus is also being given a Principal’s award next week (alright, two proud mommy moments). Now, he was given an Outstanding Effort award last year and there was an interesting incident with a microphone…hopefully, we won’t see a repeat. And if we do, I am resolved to just laugh about it. Those assemblies are often way to serious anyway.
I am thankful that my sister’s friend, who had asked me for an impromptu Reiki healing a few weeks ago, apparently decided to pay me. She asked at the time and I told her that I didn’t want any money. But she sent some anyway. A nice compliment, and always useful! That was an awesome surprise!
This all goes to show that even in the coldest and bleakest of times, good things can still happen. Please share your gratitude below and have a great week!
