Celebrate: Five Star Things About the Week

Each Saturday people take the time to reflect on the week and then share at Ruth Ayres Writes. Here I am, once again a day late.  It’s been that kind of week with school and the home front and the need to sleep commanding my attention.  I missed my Tuesday post on Deowriter for SOLSC14. I missed Poetry Friday here as well.

But as I went to Ruth’s blog today and read her post on Personal Landmarks, I read words that reassured me that I am not alone.  There are times we all struggle. This statement reminds me of my capabilities: “I’m a writer who writes –15 minutes each day on her current story.”

So now to my celebrations of the week.

ONE

Family. They are there when you need them.  We had a week that the support and love of family was critical.

TWO

The CYBILS nominations of the Poetry books.  I think we have a great selection of Children and YA books to review and select finalists for January.  As the organizer, this has been one of the time commitments this week.

THREE

A co-worker and I engaged in a banter of Picasso quotes:

“If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes.”

—Pablo Picasso

“Everything you can imagine is real.”

—Pablo Picasso

“Nothing can be done without solitude.”

—Pablo Picasso

FOUR

Humor.  Thank goodness that my mother and father gifted me with a sense of humor.  Sometimes it’s gallows humor but it gets me through challenges.

FIVE

Kinders getting to check out their first book.  I just love their excitement when this day arrives for them.  They are so serious to choose the correct book.

What are you celebrating?
