What a Day

Good days do not have to look like rainbows and sunshine. Sometimes, a really good day is just giving your son a ride to school and still making it to work on time, making a few students genuinely laugh somehow probably by a miracle, eating really good snacks and lunch that your admin provided because they appreciate you every single day not just on an official teacher appreciation day once a year, reveling in nerdy English teacher stuff with your work bestie, eating tuna sandwiches and pork and beans because it is easy dinner and your special needs daughter is easy going and likes most anything, and finishing up with a Hallmark knock-off Christmas movie that wasn't too bad actually. That is what good days are made of, and I am thankful I took the time to see it, enjoy it, and not let the beauty of it all escape me.
