Blessed to have been a teacher

I was a teacher for 35 years and during that time I met some very special people in both, other teachers and my students. I am quite close to many of them today even though I have been retired for 5 years. My former students have done some special things for me even though I am no longer their teacher. To name a few, when I retired one student had a beautiful hydranger delivered to my house and another student that lives in Florida flew up just to attend my retirement party and another young man had flowers delivered to me every year on my cancer free anniversary.

I am getting so excited for my upcoming trip to Disney I had no idea that anticipation was going to get even greater. Yesterday I received a phone call from VIP services at Walt Disney World.

Do You Enjoy Snow?

I used to be a snow lover. I got so excited everytime I heard there was snow in forecast, but my feelings have changed. I know that since I live in New England I should be excited for snow but Ever since I retired from teaching, I don't want to get snow storms any more. While I was teaching I looked forward to snow and would wake up several times during the night to look out the window and see how much snow we had because it could give me a day off. I did love my snow days. Now I would prefer not to have any snow. I do not like to be outside in this cold weather so I am the person looking forward to warmer weather. We got 20 inches of snow this weekend and its pretty but I don't want any more snow. I am not happy that meteorolgists are talking about more snow next weekend. I am hoping and praying that we don't get much especially since I have tickets for the Celtics game on Sunday.
