You Are Beautiful
One of the things I get very
frustrated about is hearing people beat themselves up. I have too many friends and family members who do this. I really wish that they could see the beautiful person that I see.

Not that I won’t do fun stuff when the madness does begin, but I’ll have to be more mindful about when I do them.
So today it was off to the Florida Aquarium for me. They offer free admission to teachers all of the time, which is really nice of them.Read More »Afternoon at the Aquarium
