Every day is a gift from god and I am so grateful that I get to enjoy them. It was a long weekend, but it was a wonderful weekend. Even with a little different work schedule this week, I am grateful for all of the things that I get to do and see.

One of our students had her Senior Portrait taken on campus today; for the photo in the yearbook. I am grateful that I was able to see her; she is a wonderful student and lady, full of joy. She was dressed in a full traditional kimono, with her hair done up and japanese earings. It was beautiful and I am grateful that she sought me out so that I was able to see it in person.

This morning was a beautiful sunrise, while I read my bible and drank my coffee; something else to be grateful for. So many things that we are allowed to enjoy; it is a gift.
