".. from my ragged heart to yours"

October 2, 2010

~* Welcome October ~


A
Perfectly
Wonderful
Day!

Often sought ~ rarely found
this week
brought to me a day that made my heart smile
and it is still smiling...

First ~ I saw a glimmer of how fantastic my
class of first graders could be ~
excited to learn!
and
working cooperatively,
one even brought to me a small gift
upon it she had written
I like you
I love you!
inside the box
were fun bright cheery erasers...
how did she know?

Then a co-worker
( one who I thought didn't like me that much)
gave me a compliment right in front of
 me to my student teacher.
I beamed all through the rest of the day!

After school that day,
I visited the library to pick up a book on hold,
As I often do, I went into the Mudhouse cafe.
When I saw who was working, my heart sank,
it was the one who I secretly call

(sarcastically)

"Mr. Personality"

I decided my favorite smoothie would be
such a great fit to my perfect day
so order I did.

Not only did he smile and talk nicely to me,
he brought my chai banana smoothie
out to me ~ And
It was the best one I'd ever had!

These things may seem small on
your perfect day meter,
but for me

right now

They were

monumental!

So I smile as I write these lines
and wish  each one of you

many
perfect
October
days!

I love you my friends,

Katie
