Long Time

So, Ohio information is not as exciting to write about as Colorado life. Probably because this feels "normal" and Colorado was different, exciting, and picturesque (sp?). But life here is good, too. Today, I passed out progress reports updating the students on their grades and my science class - and they cared if they were good or bad! One student had a 83%, a B. He asked, "Is this good?" I said, "Yes, that's very good for you." He was very excited, saying he was going tell everyone he knew! Yea :) So, that's fun to see.

Jeremy is out enjoying the Wayne County Fair, after helping his dad fold and stuff 500 envelopes for the Shepherds Guide. Hard work and then play makes for a great day. I was here this evening alone. I sat on the couch for awhile after school before motivating myself to get off the couch and go for a walk. I talked to a lady down the street for almost a half hour before finally hitting the pavement. I walked (19 min) and ran (24 min) to Easton and back (about 3 or so miles). I was very proud of myself because it is longer than I have made it running in a long time. Then, I had a nice hour long conversation with the computer repair man - Fred - while he worked his magic on the desktop computer I've had for 7 years. He was a really nice man that knows a lot, but I don't think our computer is very fixable - 2 Trojan viruses! (for some of you this may mean more than it does to me) He went home after an hour to help his wife out with their 5 year old and a very cranky 17 month old. He will come back tomorrow to help restore the computer. UGH, technology!

This has been a good Monday for me, hopefully for all of you as well. I am looking forward to a week of Good Days. That's my new thing this year - keeping a journal of good things from each day. I titled the journal "Today was a Good Day." This way I leave school on a positive note. It may give you the boost you need to. God loves you all! Until later...
