I am currently reading "Life of the Beloved" by Henri J.M. Nouwen. I just read the chapter about blessings and how we don't take enough time to recognize them. And if we spend time thinking of our blessings, we will be more secure in our identity as God's beloved.

So as I was reading this last night, I thought of one of the second graders at work, T. T has severe ADHD and this maniacal smile that stops you in your tracks as you wonder what shenanigans he's up to. I have to confess, I'm not good with these kids. The hyper-ness annoys me, and I know I need to be nicer and more patient. When I come into work every morning, T is in the office, and I barely acknowledge him. I'm awful, I know.

Well, I had his class yesterday, and he said, "Happy belated birthday, Ms. B. Did you have a nice day?" I replied that it was lovely, but then I asked how he knew it was my birthday. He told me it was on his calendar. Apparently he asked me months ago when it was, remembered it till he got home, and wrote it on his calendar. He said he wanted to be able to wish me a happy birthday.

What a blessing.

И топорная работа может быть ювелирной, если плотник - мастер своего дела. Кто ищет - тот всегда найдет, главное ищите! Труд делает заботы незаметными. только творя мы можем почувствовать все то счастье, которое дает свободный труд! Лишь труд вселенную перерождает. Все дается только труду. Все - труду людскому, таков лозунг истории. Труд - отец голода, дед пищеварения, прадед здоровья. Безделье одинаково вредит и душе и телу.

Why I Love Bust Magazine (and you should, too)

Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust . In this issue, I read about: Fat women on reality shows A new version of roller derby called Derby Lite A global O that will be occurring on December 21-22 Recipes for finger foods to serve at holiday parties How to make your own yarn Asheville, NC (now I want to move there even more...) Amy Poehler's views on feminism Divorce ranches in Nevada from the 1930's through the 1960's (it used to be really hard to get a divorce, and Nevada had laws that made it super easy) Homemade Christmas gift ideas A guide to "handling some of life's major milestones- marriage, childbirth, and death- with a DIY frame of mind" The monthly "One-handed read" column And of course, there are the fashion and beauty sections. Also, book, movie, and music revie

I got a little out of control...

I started my end of the year celebration a day early with margaritas at Lalo's. Unfortunately, since I don't drink very often, they affected me pretty quickly. I knocked my fork onto the sidewalk. Nancy (with her 80's hair) pretended not to know me. Nina gave me this look. Good times, good times. 40 more minutes of school, and then I am FREE!!!!!

Fall!

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m excited for fall.  I LOVE fall.  Things I’m looking forward to: Sweaters and hoodies Cinnamon candles  Leaves crunching under your feet Carving pumpkins and toasting the seeds (that I will give as gifts because I don’t actually like them) Going to the apple orchard with my mom… apple donuts and apple ciders slushees… Scary movies Watching my Charlie Brown DVDs Starting school!  I swear, September always flies by in an adrenaline-filled haze… The smell of burning leaves Football!!! Making apple pie (that will most likely be given as a gift because I’ll be dieting) Fall crafts (I think this year I want to attempt a wreath) Hot apple cider My one and only complaint about fall is that it means winter is coming…
