Grace in Small Things: 17/365

1. The day off work!
2. I can do my homework in my p.j.'s!
3. Nasreen, for her patience with all my questions!
4. Janet, for following my blog (almost everything I have learned about blogging has come from following her blog!)
5. I had the nerve and guts to say what I needed to say yesterday

Thank you, Janet, for your help! I hope that you don't mind that I, due to lack of creativity, unlike YOU, have incorporated some of your stylish and clever ideas into my blog. I actually credited you in my old blog, Irish Eyes of Green, but had to start a new blog for a technology class I am taking. I appreciate your wit, sense of style, ab fab creativity, writing style and intellectual interests!

5. A very well developed sense of humor about most things

Grace in Small Things: 15/365

1. Students stopping by to tell me what's working!
2. Seeing a handsome, friendly, intelligent instructor that I have a little, itty bitty crush on
3. Knowing that my crushes (I currently have two) are innocent and harmless because I would never act on them (I think these guys are married; not sure, but pretty sure)
4. My imagination
5. My restraint

Happy Monday!

I was looking on Google images for some pictures of angry people for a presentation I am developing for a retreat, and I found some very silly pictures, and some very, very angry looking people. I'll let YOU decide for yourself how you would label these images.

When I want to be thoroughly entertained, I watch this Miss Capucine video. This is my absolute favorite! Miss Capucine reminds me of my oldest daughter, Maeg, when she was little. It's long, but lovely and oh, so exciting! Have a look:
