So grateful for the little moments today

I am not working today.  I intended to be.  There was a job I knew would be available today, and my alarm was set to get up and go in.  However, it was a rough night of sleep, and I decided to stay home today.  It is a job I don't particularly like, and I decided being home with my pets was better for me today.  I know how selfish that sounds, but I don't regret my decision.  And I've already been asked to work tomorrow, so that is still four days this week I'll be scheduled.

I am so grateful for the sunshine and the warmer temps, and the birds chirping.  I am so grateful for my sweet dog and one of our cats to be curled up together and literally cuddling with me on the couch.  I am so, so grateful for these peaceful moments.

Yesterday was not peaceful.  I was in my favorite sub job in the building.  I love it!  The kids are awesome and it's just a great job.  However, we learned some very difficult news about the teen daughter of some friends.  It is not publication, but it shows how quickly unhealthy teen relationships can become dangerous.  I am angry and having trouble processing, and I had the young man who is causing problems in class yesterday.  It was tough for me.

I love the fact that my sweet animals are curled up here with me, and I've got over 4 hours until Catherine gets home this evening.  I'm going to enjoy my day of peace!
