Despite 2011 being a year of few blog posts, life outside the virtual world has never been so exciting. And despite the end of 2011 being tiring, almost exasperating, it was overall a great year.
In the beginning of 2011, a friend gave me a small notebook which she suggested could be used as a gratitude notebook. Daily (for the first few months anyway) I wrote things I was grateful for.
- A job that makes me jump out of bed each morning
- Students I love to bits and pieces
- Kids who make me smile
- Kids who are not in a hurry to grow up
- Cool and quiet nights in the mountains
- Awesome good morning music
- Great baon
- Windsurfing weekends
- Being fit enough to climb Mt. Maculot
- Being fit enough to climb Mt. Pulag
- Mountain climbing weekends
- Impromptu gigs
- Excitement in anticipation of summer
- Rainbow cake
- Cool nights on the beach
- The perfect travel buddy
- Stars
- Coastal road trips–open air and good music
- Provincial market days
- Finally graduating, cum laude at that!
- Surviving my first full year of teaching and loving it
- Dance
- Relationships
Here’s to a 2012 of new beginnings.
