I was on vacation last week and was dreading returning to work. It’s so funny how we can get into a negative (or less than enthusiastic) mindset. I like my job, I enjoy my work, and I have way more good days than bad when working.

I spent the day with my teachers and my team. It was a great day. I felt energized by everyone’s willingness to actively participate in the day.

I don’t ever expect gifts, but my wonderful teammate, Andrea brought me flowers and one of my teachers gifted me with a beautiful jewelry set.

When I got home, Anna was waiting to talk about our day. I got a text from Layla telling me she would call me tonight. Our puppies were beyond excited to see me.

I am thankful and grateful for the blessings in my life. I hope each person who reads this has or finds at least one reason to be grateful.
