Melissa, over at Stretch Marks, yesterday posted 25 things that inspire her and challenged us all to do the same. I'm not going to do all 25 today. I have not had time since school started Monday. How am I tired and back into feeling overwhelmed just after 2 days? I haven't even had all my kindergarteners yet! Oh well, here are some.....
1. My girls. I want to walk across the stage in Dec. to receive my Ed.S diploma to show them that I want to do better and more for them.
2. My students at school. Some days when I just need a pick-me-up, they can say or do the very thing that I need.
3. My college friends. I have seen them grow up ( I've known them forever) and become what they wanted to be. It inspires me to work hard too. I am proud of them and their varied accomplishments.
4. My husband, in 1997, as he battled leukemia. He never let a negative thing enter his mind. Oh, it wasn't easy and later it about destroyed us, but he handled his emotions and the whole thing with bravery. I never heard him say, "What if I don't..."
5. My mamaw. She made me feel like I was her favorite out of 10 grandchildren. Just like everybody else felt. She loved in a way that I aspire to love.
That's all I'm doing today. I'll think some more plus I gotta watch the finale to So You Think You Can Dance!!

Those are great, Robin!! I should do that, but uh, I don't wanna think right now, lol
Oh and just to let you know....not to burst your bubble, but I was CLEARLY MaMaw's favorite;) But if it helps you sleep at night to think that, then go right ahead, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Love ya!
I must be in a sappy mood, cause just reading these made me want to cry my eyes out! Can't go into all the sap, but I will say this: Thank you for letting me love your Mamaw and Papaw. They were very, very special people, and they blessed me in the time I knew them!
Now, I am sore afraid that I must go see my inlaws!
Those are good ones... very sweet
Oh Lynette!! Your memories are going as you get older. I was the favorite grandchild!! =) Nah, she made us all feel special.
Thanks Christi! I'm glad you became friend enough to become family!
Lizzie, thank you very much!
I still can't think of any more to add so that may just have to be it!
Oh man I bet it was so tough with your husband and what he went thru. Those kind of times always bring out the worst and the best in people but I know it had to make you both grow a lot stronger.
