This year has gone by so fast.  Sometimes I feel like I am just frantically speeding through the days.  It's one thing after another.  There's the teaching, yes, but then there is also things like leading chapel (Seventh grade is leading chapel on November 24), planning Grandparent's Day (November 19), attending my own Bible Study, going to my daughter's sporting events and practices....It's a busy life. 

So sometimes it feels good just to be in the moment and to take stock in what is good.  This place is good.  My classes are good.  I have good things around me.  There are positive people who care about me.  At times the negative things weigh heavily on the day, but if I just look up, I can see there is so much more to this world than then negative. 

While I'm giving thanks, thanks for listening to this rambling message!
