Blessings and Gratitude

Sometimes in the midst of the usual, and not-so-usual moments of everyday life, something or someone catches your attention and brings clarity right to the surface. It may be as simple as a comment, a line from a book, a song lyric, a photo, a memory of once-forgotten advice, a blog post, or even one of the hundreds of inspiring quotes that are shared on Pinterest daily.

Today, I visited two of my {many} favorite blogs, Sweet Blessings and Third Grade Thinkers, and as always, found some timely inspiration. Both Shannon at Sweet Blessings and Doris at Third Grade Thinkers have hundreds of followers {no big surprise, they are both awesome}, but if by any small chance you haven't visited their blogs recently, stop by soon. Instant inspiration.

Shannon creates and shares the most beautiful printables, and Doris has amazing ideas for keeping learning {and teaching} fun! So, those are the blessings and this is my gratitude. Thanks Shannon and Doris, for your inspiration.

While we're on the topic, I was also inspired by this post and striking printable, "They May Forget...", by Kacey at Doodle Bugs Teaching. It has become one of my favorite quotes related to teaching, although it is definitely true for anyone with whom we interact. Thank you Kacey :)

I'll close here with words that always seem to bring a sense of peace and hope.
