And So It Begins......

So, after seeing my friend Raina and my mom's blogs, I decided to start my own. I wasn't sure what exactly I would write about or why anyone would want to read this, but then it came to me! What a great outlet this could be for me to stay positive and keep a record of what I'm thinking throughout the year.

I was originally going to have this blog be dedicated to the "trials & tribulations" of teaching, writing about the crazy, comical, and sometimes frustrating things my kids say to me at school everyday. However, I began to realize that this might have become a dumping ground for my sometimes negative thoughts about "kids these days."

The conclusion I've now come to is that this blog is going to be a source of positive thinking and writing for me. I'm going to dedicate each month to a certain theme or idea and every post I make that month will relate to the same topic.

The first theme is for the month of April and I'm going to call it "Grateful April". This month, I'm going to make each post about a different person in my life that I am grateful for. Luckily, I am truly blessed and I have LOTS of amazing people that I'm looking forward to writing about!
