Happy Things

All from me . . .

• Being able to laugh at myself . . . which, I think, is better than crying
• Feeling better [after being sick for nearly a week]
• Having a fun conversation with Fhallon through a door
• Being thanked for a consequence
• Saying "good night" to the girls
• Chris E. asking Jamie to break a toilet so that he could have something to fix
• Alaina almost falling out of her chair in Learning Center while I was teaching
• Danny or Joey P. announcing that he found another "licorice bottle" on the trash pick-up
• "Can we elect her so that Christ will return?" --Danicka, after someone commented that Hillary Clinton as president would surely hasten end times
• Singing to Gloria--the smile on her face at hearing an encouraging truth from Scripture
• A random phone call from Megan S.
• Wildflowers in my office, compliments of Jessica G.
• Jessica G. cleaning my bathroom (and re-making my bed on laundry day), even though she knew the "penalty"
• Outlet mall shopping with Naomi K.
• "I found my answers, but I don't like them." --a certain honest young lady, part-way through her Bible study on dress and appearance
• Texts from Danielle F.
• Chris E. and Andrew B. staring through the windows of the kitchen doors, successfully unnerving me as I was trying to talk to Jessica
• "Is your room so neat because you are the room-checker?" --Fhallon to Jessica
• Watching the "packer truck" crunch up stuff from a whole bathroom we threw in it, including a toilet!
