This picture is of a Thanksgiving dinner place card from 2 Thanksgivings ago! I have kept it as a piece of memorabilia of the evening & especially of this family whom are all good friends of mine! The three children all went through my Scripture class & were involved in our high school Youth Ministry programs. You bond w/ your kids when gone for a week on a Mission Trip! Especially when all the females are sleeping on the floor in some other school's classroom for the week! Their Mom has been a Mission Trip chaperone & now works at my former parish school where we would giggle together & share chocolates!
Why do I bring this up!?! B/c, although I really like where I now live and the much shorter commute, it has been difficult for me. I don't make friends easily, I'm pretty anti-social, preferring to stay alone at home w/ a book or any "Law & Order" marathon I can find on TV. So I've been going through some depression at being so far away from the few good friends I have. It took me 15 years to open up and make friends. I was texting my friend ND the one who made the place card & the Mom in this family and she was so sweet! She & her husband insisted I come over for dinner this past Wednesday! I did and it was so nice to see familiar faces & get hugs galore! Plus, the food was superb as always! Oh, did I mention I got leftovers to take home!?! Yup, pretty awesome!
I truly am blessed to have such caring souls in my life!
On to the Squirmy Worms!!!
Once classes end today Spring Break starts & I think adult & student alike are more than ready for it! I feel a part of it is everyone gets a break from the normal routine. Which I think is a good thing. We all tend to fear change, but not all change. It's good to shake things up once in a while! Plus it's so nice to see everyone excited to spend time with their families! In a culture of electronic devices, seeing everyone excited to break away and spend time w/ actual human beings is a wonderful thing!
And with that, I bid you adieu!
Peace!
