Bucket List

I think I want to start a "bucket list." Do you have one? Any suggestions?
I will keep you posted!

Taking Pride!

Today I had a conversation with a wise person. We talked about taking pride in things you own or do. Here is a list of things I see pride in. (Very Random thoughts!)

1. Our yard, my husband takes great pride in our yard (it is amazing by the way)
2. My flowers, I try to keep them alive all summer and pick off the dead ones.
3. Our kids, we take pride in our kids and hope we are doing a good job of raising them and teaching them to be treat people.
4. Our jobs! I take pride in being a good teacher. I know I am not always but do love what I do. I know my husband gives 100% to his job and his coaching.
5. My parent's yard and garage. My dad works very hard even on one bad leg to make sure his yard and garage are spotless.
6. Laundry--this might be dumb, but I always stay on top of it. I hate having a basket full.
7. Our home. It may not be huge or full of big things but it's our's. We bought it, we finished it, we like it!
8. Pride in your school! I had such pride growing up at my school. Maybe cause I was a cheerleader (raw raw!). Then I moved to. St. Cloud and began taking pride in Tech. Things change and I still like Tech but don't bleed orange and black. I do however love South and take pride in that school. It will be a hard year coming up for many of us with changes happening.

I do not take pride in my ability to cook, clean, read books, iron, or save money.

What do you take pride in?
