People who read this blog might think sometimes I'm a little "pie-in-the-sky" optimistic. I most certainly am not, but I do try to remember my blessings. I am definitely a worrier and I can struggle with anxiety at times, but I also try to hold onto my faith which always helps get me through tough times.
Last evening, a job popped up for today that I was excited about. It is a freshman science job, and I always prefer to be at the high school. It is also early release day which is a bonus! I don't know many of the freshmen yet, but I am learning, and I have truly enjoyed the day.
As I was arriving at school this morning, I watched Andrew walk into the school, with Catherine and Thomas following behind. It really filled my heart getting to see my family walk together like that. The classroom I am in is two doors down from Andrew's, and we were able to eat lunch together. I don't have to worry about missing my kids' activities or doctor appointments, and yesterday I even got to be off for the day and run some errands that required most of the day.
There are certainly plenty of stresses and struggles in life, but my "job" is certainly not one of them. And even the struggles and stresses are certainly nothing compared to so many in the world. When I think about it, there is no way I can't be grateful for this life!
