count your blessings

Today at lunch, the student council put on a little Christmas talent show for us, and because it went a little long, the kids missed their normal recess time. After a little bit of begging, I took the kids outside for about 10 minutes, and instead of standing at the door, I played with them. The girls and I had a blast swing set. I have always loved to swing; it makes me feel carefree, young, and light. We swung and had competitions as to who could go the highest. Sometimes I forget I'm an "adult," and I think that's a good thing.

If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings
-Bing Crosby
