The holiday season couldn't have come at a better time in my life and the lives of those close to me. While I'm out here in DC rifling through lesson plans and 12th grade persuasive papers on pancakes vs. waffles (no, that's not a joke), I know of a lot of people working to stay ahead of much more difficult things. So, I'm counting on the holiday spirit to aid others in any struggles that they may be going through.
With 20 minutes left of Thanksgiving I'm going to say what I'm grateful for, in true Thanksgiving fashion:
Family-2.5 weeks ya'll!
Friends-Some who I don't talk to nearly enough and they still love me.
Roommates-Rah rah ah ah ah, roma romama, gaga, ooh lala!
Students-"Ms. Dixon is funny as sh**!"
Mrs. Thompson-"It says it kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria."
DC-You may be rainy lately, but you're great.
Everything-Generic, but true.
Love you all; do me a favor and turn on Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" and dance it out. "Lose our troubles because after all, it's Christmas time. It's Christmas time again."-Colbie Caillat
