The rain pours on the roof of our porch and the thunder roars and rumbles. I am reminded with each breeze through the screen that sometimes we need thunderstorms to remind us to breathe. It's such a busy time. Just 6 school days separate me from a three month holiday from my job. Though, as teachers, we're still busy preparing for the following year, teaching summer school and working other random jobs because we can. My desk at school is overflowing with paperwork, e-mails, packing (I get a new, real, kindergarten classroom next year...complete with restroom...hallelujah!), and assessing. But for tonight, I will listen to the pitter-patter above me, curl up with a quilt and read my book that I've been dying to finish for the last few weeks (or months).
Sometimes we just need a reminder...breathe...relax...enjoy life. Enjoy the storm.

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. [Louisa May Alcott]
