Grades are in! They weren't straight A's (as I had so often fantasized over winter break), but I got at least one A and no B-'s or C's. Plus, I got an awesome grade on my graded memo :) I've been trying not to dwell on the grades I am less pleased with, but I was finding it difficult to not be a little disappointed. One walk around our neighborhood in Santa Monica and all that disappointment just disappeared. With so many people homeless and in need, I realized that if my biggest problem is having a couple of B's on my transcript, I don't have problems at all. I'm just a crybaby with control issues.
Over winter break, we started a new project to help the homeless in our community. We are collecting thermoses (sp?) and filling them with hot tea. We pack a little snack bag to go with it and give our care package to a person in need in our 'hood. Our first new friend, Daniel, was teary-eyed and thankful when we presented him with the thermos and bag. If you have a thermos you'd like to donate, please let me know. We will make sure it gets used by someone in need.
Hope 2010 is good to you and yours :)
