Today at the end of a long, long day (almost 14 hours at school), I am thankful for the act of coming home, for the family I have to come home to. For an excited singing spaniel, a snuggly tired girl, a sweet boy leaning in for hugs and wanting to cut out snowflakes. I am thankful, too for the chance to choose the positive, to emphasize the good; the privilege of bringing light into another parent's eyes through genuine praise of the genuine good in their child. That is totally worth 5 extra hours at school.
