The snow has melted...it's still only in the 40's & 50's but so glad to see the snow gone. On my 1hr. drive this past Monday and Tuesday out to teach I saw lil' bits of green pushing through in the grass & trees and LOTS of baby cows....I'm hoping a warm spring will make it's way soon.
This past month has been a challenging one for me, one I almost didn't want to come through but I made it and God is GOOD. Really pushing in & letting go of "me" so as to release unconditional love to EVERYONE around me. Daily choosing to not allow circumstances to affect me but looking for ways that I can impact the circumstances. It's true perseverance & endurance do produce character and I'm soooo working on producing a good one with the Help of my Lord & savior Jesus Christ.
on a lighter note I saw my 1st heard/pack of deer on the mountain side. SO NEAT!!! Oh & I'm super excited for my little dancers they're going to perform in June at the year end show. This teaching experience has been Challenging but fun with lots of learning experiences. As well as being a student all over again taking ballet, Zumba and learning choreography for the year end show. (which will be touring the month of July - gonna be so GOOD).
To close here are some thoughts and random facts.
