Autumn is my fav. It is hard to focus on gratitude when the world is imploding but today my building showed me why I need to be intentional

I feel worn out, but we got 16 of the 17 of the teachers of students w. visual impairments cohort to graduation- submitted all grades to make it happen. It is the the first time that I taught the same people for two years. I hope to see them all walking for graduation.

I am a teacher & have worked with children with #disabilities for decades. There are so many #discriminatory practices I learned of in BC in just 1.5yrs of living here- and no real legal protection. If you can support this family pls. We are pre-ADA times in 🇨🇦

Forgot about the time change and thought #Sàndor was very polite waking me up this morning. Nope, he was right on time.

I am so grateful to have a job, where I can take half a day to tend to my health and live in a place where I can take public transport and walk. (Now if i could also score a family doctor - its been nearly 2 yrs of waiting)

Drove south, by the 99 you can often sight eagles.They make me irrationally happy and remember when in N.CA at camp seeing one was a treat. Learning how salmon and eagle ate essential local first nations makes them even more cool.

how many times do u attempt to put lights on a xmas tree? Because i did it correctly, then second guessed and removed it, then did it wrong, so third time was the charm. No wonder it feels like too much work.

Much earlier snow then our first winter last year. Thankfully no freeze to go along to cause complete havoc

Concentrating on being present with #Sándor. Growing him his own patch of grass might be a pain in the butt sometimes, but so worth the kisses
