I'm linking with Ruth Ayres, and her weekly link up. Read More about that here.
A quick celebration before the day starts.
1. The prospect of efficiency. I just spent two days being trained in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It was a fresh start that reminds me that I'm better with my time than I think I am, and it allowed me to reflect on what can improve.
2. School started! The classroom physical space. The new colleagues. One of the things I love most about education is the ability to start fresh each year. The anticipation.
3. I continue to celebrate my family and little people. This week after spending a day at school so mom (that's me) could get her school on, we headed out to buy the newest Origami Yoda book. As I pull into Barnes and Noble(it was close to school) my youngest yells out, "Hey! Is this our independent book store?!?!?" Needless to say, we u-turned it out of the parking lot and headed to the local book shop. I celebrate that leaning into my community didn't go unnoticed this summer and made a difference. We had a great conversation about how if we keep shopping at this local store, it will get huge! :)
What are you celebrating this week?
Joy!

I so wish we and an independent books store close by...actually I would settle for any bookstore! Celebrating anticipation is the best! Have a great school year.
ReplyDeleteI love that your little one is conscious of the joys of supporting the local bookstore. That is awesome. This time of year is so full of energy and anticipation. Have a great start to your school year!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had an independent bookstore near me or any bookstore. Sigh! Congrats on returning to school!!! There's nothing like starting fresh each year!
ReplyDeleteLOVED your youngest's comment - and your U-turn response!
