Hot today

The fans are running today. 91 degrees at dinner time. I fried chicken which makes it even hotter in the house. But I’m not complaining. I am so done with winter.

Do you love your space?

I just read a piece on a site I picked up from another blog (I just go around collecting things all the time) about loving a space in your home.

 Ms. White’s questions are:  

• Do you have a room of your own? 
• A room you can’t wait to come home to?
• A room that nurtures your soul and inspires you to dream?

I definitely have to say yes to these.  I love to come home.  I love to be at home (as I am today).  I love to sit in my family room and meditate, my living room and read on the couch, the computer room and play on the internet when I’m not doing grades.  I love the dining room table where I can spread out the paper and read the news or wrap a gift or do a project.  I think my big shower stall is one of the best around and when I have to travel I’m always so grateful to get back home to its shower head and water pressure.

Teaching is extremely difficult work, and teaching in an inner city high school takes its toll everyday.  I need a soft place to land at the end of each day, and I’m grateful for my home providing that space.  All of us need such a place.
