Having Fun and Feelin' Creative

This is a vacation week, winter break.

I am able to focus and create and play

better. This is just too much fun.

I strongly encourage you to play too!

Ah, it just feels good.

Talkin' to myself...daydreaming

As an introvert,

I think I had a very vivid imagination

as a child.

As an elementary teacher,

sometimes I find that children

don't use their imaginations

so much.

 

I try to encourage it...

Happy Valentine's Day!

It was a whirlwind week and an exciting day.

 I LOVE Valentine's Day

so here are just a few quick photos

 from my second grade classroom.

The top photo shows an awesome gift set

that a colleague made for me!

 How cool!
The candle has coffee beans around it!

The last two are our "mailbags" for cards shared.
My students have been super excited
to be researching and writing about penguins,
so we decorated with them, too!

♥ 

 Happy Valentine's Day to you, my friends!

Be

Journaling is my meditation

my release

my comfort

my lose myself in the moment

time.

Be.

You really are enough.

Forgive yourself.

Love yourself for who you are.

Sometimes

 

...spending some much needed time

journaling

this weekend.

I spend 50 hours a week

working at second grade

and with the winter darkness and cold,

my February feels tough.

I keep reminding myself to feel

the light

of love

and warmth.

Praying for those students

that live a seemingly

impossible life at 'home'

with more issues

than I will ever have...

Love

 

I thought my Word from 2013,

TRUST,

would be my Word for this new year, too.

I loved it

and learned so much.

But,

LOVE 

found me.

Maybe my

new

granddaughter, Andi,

has something to do with that!

 

♥

With much love,

~k
