Oops!

I hit enter instead of tab. Anyway, we are home again in Halifax after a great trip to Ontario. Great to see everyone who was able to get to the youth reunion. Great to see family and friends. It was sad too because a classmate from high school drown, leaving four young kids behind. Maybe you can pray for her husband and children. Also sad because my new baby nephew was hospitalized with breathing difficulties. He is on the mend and home again but it was hard news to take too.

Now, I will be extremely busy prepping for school. I have just two weeks til our first staff meetings on Aug 29. Busy as this time of year is, it is my favourite time in the school year, when all is fresh and new and ready to be tackled with new determination and spirit as we look forward to another year of adventure.

I am learning these days to be thankful for each day. So off I go to be with my kids and to prep for school and to await my husband's homecoming from work.

Don't take this day for granted. I didn't know the classmate well who died but I could tell from the discussion at the wake and from the pictures and scrapbooks, that she must have lived everyday to the full. I want to do that because you just never know, do you?
