I have been to many places where I have this moment of thinking, "This is the most beautiful, perfect spot in the whole world. There is no where else I'd rather be. I am so, so lucky to be here right now and I never want to leave."
Peter Pan' s Flight at Disney World
Angel's Landing at Zion National Park
The "river" and willow tree in Humboldt Park across the street from my apartment
Hurricane Ridge at Olympic National Park
The gardens at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston
Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada
Cape Alava on the Pacific Ocean

Maroon Bells Wilderness in Colorado
Wow, I could go on and on. But I realized last night that I get to go to one of my favorite places every day.

Sitting at this table feels like home. I find so much joy here. Watching kids connect to literature for the first time, learn something new, cheer each other on... In those moments, there's no place else I'd rather be. I struggle a lot with the monotony of day-to-day life, wishing I was in the desert or the mountains, living like a gypsy. But when I'm sitting at this table with my kids, I am present.
Church this week was about callings, and I know that this is the work I'm called to do. My guided reading table may not be as dazzling as some of the other spots, but it is just as beloved.
