great things.
tiny kinder spent nearly an hour
focused
working alone
not asking for any help
very carefully snipping tiny pieces
from the roll of sticky green tape
placing them on her fringed orange paper.
when she was happy with what she had created
her beautiful piece of art was done.
“great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”

the lost and found is lost.
today
when the kinders found things out of place
they went to put them in our class lost and found
but discovered it was missing.
the class then set out to find the lost and found
that was lost
until someone found it
and proudly put it back in place
then the mini wooden zebra, the blue rubber spider, and the green magna-tile
found a place to wait until we can find where they belong.
“first up, the lost and found has gone missing.
it itself, is lost.
so please try not to lose anything until we find it.”

your guest’s is as good as mine.
that moment
at the faculty party
when you get ready to leave
and go to pick up your coat
only to realize
that everyone has
a long, dark, down, winter coat
so you make a best guess choice.

inspire.
glad i could share
this special experience
with my daughters
and michelle obama
as she told stories
and answered questions
inspiring so many
with her powerful words.
“our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.”
I didn't have my glasses on....
