#bringonaugust

My team purchased new curriculum to use for our reading block this year and I've literally spent ALL day looking at it and reading it and getting really excited. I'm meeting with one of my teammates on Tuesday of next week as we are planning on kind of teaming up this next year and we had already gotten some of our planning started prior to this new curriculum being purchased so now we have even more options to discuss. I'm so excited and I can't will myself to do anything else today other than research!

Missing my amazing grandad right now! #bringonaugust #holiday #UK #dudley

God knows why I decided to do dry July.. But only one more weekend to go!! #dryjuly #sobersaturday #crazydancing withthisbabe #bringonaugust

One of my favorite feelings in the world is starting a new month.  It is the most literal way of turning a page in your life.  You're putting an entire month in your back pocket.  A month in which you were able to make your own, to create new friendships, new challenges, or see new things.  A month to make mistakes, and hopefully learn from them as you grow.  A sliver of time in your life (maybe 1/960 if you live to be 80) that you'll never get back, so hopefully you treated it well.  Hopefully you got something you deserved, accomplished something you never thought you could, or maybe you were just very content.  I for one, believe there is nothing wrong with being content.  Either way, that's 31 days days that were hopefully treated as gems.  Life is funny sometimes, so treat every good thing that comes to you as a gift, and take every bad thing with a grain of salt.  Life is much larger than most can even imagine.  My July was great.  Was yours?
