[January 17, 2012] Thankful for...water.  Tonight my friend Katie and I went to Zumba (so much fun!), and I was filling up my water bottle (thanks for pouring the water mom, so I could take the picture!).  Water is something that a lot of us take for granted because it is so accessible to us, but to many people around the world, it's not...I've heard many testimonies and stories about people in countries like Africa who have to walk several miles for clean water, and hearing those things make me all the more grateful for "little" things, like water, that we have here in our country.

[January 16, 2012] Thankful for...new restaurants!  Tonight I went to a new restaurant (to me!) named Goog's Pub and Grub...it was so yummy!  I went there with my mentor teacher and a teacher with whom I had student taught with three years ago...I love spending time with them because they have so much good advice and I can really see their love for teaching, inspiring me to be a better teacher too! :)

[January 15, 2012] Thankful for...lazy Sunday afternoons.  Sunday afternoons are perfect to chill out and watch movies...today I watched "Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader".  I really liked it and it had a great message about not giving into your temptations, but focusing on what's important in your life. :)
