So Long Phoebe

We have had a great gal staying with us for the past six months. Her name is Phoebe. Today she goes home and we will miss her terribly. She is from Taiwan and she is studying tourism. When she came here she studied English at a school for a few months, then she got a job! She worked at Tim Hortons.

This pic is of her watching her first real hockey game. Not sure she loved it. LOL

Why I Write

I have felt a little blue this week. It has been coming on for a while. Different pressures are weighing down on me. I feel discouraged about some things I don't know how to fix and don't really want to deal with. Logically, I realize isn't helping the situation.....but I can't seem to make myself fix it.

Then I decided to write about it.

Suddenly I feel such a relief. I feel a resurgence of energy. Maybe I can handle this!

That is why I write. It brings clarity. It helps me see possibilities. It helped me feel hopeful.

That is why I write. It is therapeutic! 

It is practically a miracle.

Science Fair

I am so proud of Peirce. He has been working diligently on his science fair project. He figured out what topic he wanted to focus on, organized his experiments, he recorded the data, he worked diligently on his tri-fold and on his presentation. He really put a lot of thought into it. So proud of him!
