"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting - a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Day 138----Today was a normal day and the first day this week that I didn't have anything to do after school, which was nice. I found this flower on my walk around the block; I just love all the beautiful flowers that are blooming everywhere.

Today I'm thankful for......

1. the beauty around me
2. God's blessings
3. finished grading all the essays
4. mint chocolate chip ice cream :)
5. two more weeks until trevor graduates--not sure if I'm really "thankful" for that :) yes, yes I am, I know it's the next big step in his life
