Day 10 and 11--Class visits and Veterans

I'm a day behind, but yesterday I got to go to Hazel's class and read to them for reading week. It was so fun and I loved getting to go into her classroom and interact with the kids. I volunteer there every other week, but don't have any interaction so this was a real treat :). I LOVED it! And I adore that girl.

Today I'm thankful for Veterans. I'm thankful that there are people so selfless that they'd take on a high stress job to protect others, most of whom they don't know. Then there are so many who come back scarred and have to learn how to re-enter regular life and deal with so much baggage and often difficulty finding a job that they sometimes suffer for a long time. I'm so thankful for what they gave so we can be free.
