Random Thoughts

Sometimes we just have random thoughts that pop into our heads. I like to make lists of my random thoughts. Ok, to be honest, I like making lists of lots of things. Lists make me happy. Lists keep me organized. Lists make my OCD brain feel like there's some order in this crazy world. So today, I simply share a list of random thoughts from this past week.

1. I'm much happier on a sunny day than I am on a rainy day.
2. Just seeing the chairs on the porch makes me feel good.
3. I know I'd feel even better if it was warm enough to sit on said chairs.
4. I have lots of books on my Kindle and need to get reading.
5. Hearing the laughter of my grandchild brings joy to my heart at a level I never thought possible.
6. I can't fix problems for even those closest to me. But I'm realizing that praying for them is working toward a fix.
7. We use the word "awesome" far too often. I'm working to learn to only use it when talking about God and what He does.
8. We test kids way too much! And the most important tests we give them are made by people completely out of touch with what we see in the classroom every day. 
9. Laying in bed with my husband and watching TV at 8:47 can be so relaxing.
10. God gave me 2 of the most amazing blessings when he gave me my 2 kids. They're pretty swell human beings.
11. My brain is pretty random. I could keep going and going with this list of randomness.

Enjoy the rest of your week!
