Hello and happy Thursday!
Another day, another “gratitude challenge” post.
Today, I’m reflecting on two days to get caught up.
Day 6 is…a failure or rejection you are grateful for…
Gosh – It’s probably been at least ten years ago, I applied for a job where I would be an instructional specialist and work with teachers in various buildings. I was familiar with the organization as I’d worked with them while my school was a part of a grant. At that point in my career, I just wanted to do something different. I would have been able to service schools not too far from Lexington, but I’d have to go to Louisville a couple of times a week.
It’s no fun “putting yourself out there” only to be rejected, but in retrospect, I don’t know that it would have been a good fit for me in the long run.
Only a couple of years later, I moved to my current district which provided me with a good change that I needed.
Day 7’s topic is…something in nature you are grateful for.
Definitely the ocean. As soon as my feet hit the sand and I see the water, I feel at peace.
Even this summer in Oregon, Travis tacked on a couple of Oregon coast days because we needed some days to relax and rest, but also just because he knows how much I love the beach.
Obviously, you know I also love a beach sunset. It just amazes me that we’re all watching the same sun set, but at the beach, it’s even more stunning.
Also, I love fresh few inches of snow….along with a snow day!
Sweet story from the other day…I picked Hayden up from PT, and he was talking about how they really stretched him out. Then, we went on about how he loves natural daylight, especially when the sun trickles in the window. I guess his PT room had lots of natural light, so he was relaxed during his session. He just gave me so many details which is very unlike him. haha
What, in nature, are you grateful for?
See you back here tomorrow for Friday Favorites.

That nature question would be so hard to pick just one or two! I love the bean/ocean and sunrises/sunsets. But I also love the pretty trees in October and pretty flowers, snowy days when the sun comes out and all the trees glisten…

I love your pictures. I have a couple I am going to share on Friday Favorites of how beautiful the sun caught the fall leaves in my backyard. I like looking at any body of water, but the beach is the best.
I think you are right about the job you didn’t get. It would have been stressful and now you are in a great position and with your kids!

I’m sad my tree leaves are on the ground already 🥲
Yes things definitely worked out how they should. In January of 2020, A friend who works at KDS asked me to call her about a job she thought I’d be good at …I was happy with my job so I wasn’t interested but also knowing how 2020 ended up, probably good I didn’t make a change

A boy giving details? I would be grateful for the sunlight too then 🙂 I answered the ocean/beach too!
