Highlight of the day

Every day of this week, my students have to choose and write who or what they are thankful for since we are getting ready for Thanksgiving. One of my students said she was thankful for me and then says, “Well you are my family, ya know” It was followed with a big hug! You should also know that I work with children who come from troubled families and don’t really get the chance to experience what a Thanksgiving dinner is with all of their family under the same roof. Next week, we will all be gathering up in the gym to have a huge Thanksgiving dinner and it is the one time throughout the whole entire school year where the entire school (students and staff) are all together. It’s a big deal to the kids and to the staff because we show the kids how important they are and we get to share this same experience like a huge family. I am so excited for next week’s festivities at work! These children have opened my eyes to so much more in life and how important it is to cherish and value our loved ones.

I am sincerely thankful for them in every way possible.

 

Love so hard

I realized that I love so hard.

I love to make my significant other feel like he is special in every possible way (he is, btw).

I love being open and honest with him too. After all, keeping secrets from each other or not sharing your thoughts is not healthy even if it hurts to hear it.

That’s the beauty of love… being able to open 100% knowing that your lover will still be there for you regardless.

Also, being silly and not giving two shits about it because you already know that you feel comfortable enough to share your weirdness with each other. A relationship without humor has got to be SO boring and dull.

I love to surprise him with random yet meaningful text messages or random gifts because I can’t help, but to think of him when I see something at a store that reminds me of him.

I love staying up late with him even if I know I’m going to have a long day the next day. Every second spent with him is bliss.

I love calling him to see how is day was or call him as I walk to my car at night because just his voice makes me feel safe and secure.

I love spending time with his family and when he spends time with my family because I feel a sense of unity between the two.

I love looking at him when he doesn’t know I am to simply admire how handsome he is to me.

I love everything about him and that’s what makes me love so hard because even when times are tough, we both find a way to move on and grow from it and just keep loving each other the same way we always have, if not more.

Blogging

I write for me and I post on here for myself. I am not a professional writer in any shape or form, but blogging for me is like a get away. I don’t know who actually reads or let alone enjoy my blog posts and I am not saying that I don’t care; I sincerely appreciate if you do take the time to read, like or comment on my posts. It means the world to me. Just know that with every blog post, there is a special piece of me that is being shared with you all even if it’s a silly post.  Anywho, have a wonderful day to whoever is reading this at this very moment. You are beautiful and special in your own way.

xoxo, Dee

Considering I made this blog not too long ago, I just want to say thank you to those who actually read my posts. That is all.

Today

You know what’s nice? When someone appreciates your presence. Today before going to work, I stopped by the convinient store around the corner from my house to buy some water. You should be infromed that I haven’t stopped by there in a little while. When the owner saw me, her face lit up with joy and asked me where I’ve been all this time! I couldn’t help, but to laugh….It was a good and comforting laugh. She thought I had moved and that’s why I haven’t been to the store in a long time. But as I walked out of the door I remembered that I never got her name after all this time. I turned around and asked her what her name was and she asked for mine. The feeling of appreciation felt mutual. I thought it was awesome becasue you never know who you truly looks forward to seeing you or who actually admires your presence in a room. Share your smile with people and show them a sense of appreciation; it goes a long way.

Inspired by Mina; the store owner.
