Three Thursday Thoughts

Back when I was blogging regularly, I used to two Three Things Thursday. It was my easy way of posting three random thoughts, short and sweet. I am going to give it a whirl again:

1. Today was the 2nd day in a row that I  made it to the gym prior to heading off to work. This is big people. I have probably made it to a morning workout 5 times total in the past year!
2. I miss training for something - I would love to be training for a triathlon or even a 10K, but there isn't much around here for that this time of year.
3. Today was one of those days at work that reminded me of many things -

• why I teach,
• how impossible it is to not get emotionally involved with my work,
• why I question why I teach,
• how fortunate I was to grow up in a household with two amazing parents that supported us girls, challenged us, had expectations of us, and put responsibilities on our shoulders,
• that I am thankful I have such a rewarding job, even though most days I don't feel that way when looking at the big picture.
