It's Thursday...

and I'm counting my blessings. Sunday afternoon was a great time. Little Chair, Sven (my code names for my sister and bro-in-law) and I sat down for three intense games of Settlers of Catan (Cities and Knights version). We each won one game. How fun is that? Then Little Chair and I went on a long walk. She's amazing and I love her.

I found out that my paper was postponed a week.

Church was awesome.

A student that I was struggling with has had a major attitude change. I literally dreaded having this student again this year when I saw his name on my class roster. Due to a few circumstances I won't go into, he has had a change of heart and attitude recently. I pray that the change is permanent, but even if it's not -- I'm enjoying having less tension in the classroom.

I had a great conversation with someone this afternoon that was encouraging in a strange sort of way. (Sorry, that's just going to be cryptic.) Then, I had a great dinner with a friend.

Tomorrow is a prep day at school. I have to work, but there will be no students -- lots can be accomplished! :-)

I'm grateful for the blessings in my life. Thank you, God, for remembering me.
