HOORAY!

School is OUT! :) 

long live bare feet, good books, and sunshine

what I really want to say

you know, life is good. life is so good. 

I have all of these words that want to get out - things I want to tell you, feelings I want to share, and soap boxes I want to stand on. but I'll leave them for another day. 

because right now?

right now I'll tell you how much I love the world.

you know, sometimes the world is mean. sometimes it is even pretty cruel.

but then sometimes it can be kind of wonderful too. 

and sometimes I just want walk up to every single person on this planet and whisper in their ear "I love the world."

which is kind of another way of saying "I love you".

because when you stop and look around, there really is a lot to be grateful for. 

Special :)

This is my Special Needs Mutual class - aren't they just so cute? 

These awesome people are my Thursday nights, once a week, every week :) 

They are so great!

So funny, so happy, so special.

And  you know what? Having "special needs" isn't a bad thing. 

Because 

having EXTRA SPECIAL NEEDS 

really means

  having EXTRA SPECIAL FRIENDS :)
