I sure am blessed. It’s like everything is finally coming together. First I want to announce that I have officially chosen to run across the United States in New Balance Shoes. I just wanted to make sure my feet had the best possible gear I could find. Who wouldn’t want the best for a three thousand mile run?
They say you can’t fail if you put everything you’ve got into something. The kids at Ocean Knoll Elementary seem to understand this. Mrs. Voaklander teacher of the year eusd’s third grade class is filled with wonder and positive energy. And, the kids are amazing readers. I found several authors and artists in the group as well. How rewarding is it for me to recieve their gifts and wishes of luck? I will share some of their artwork with my readers now.
The kids asked me the best questions. Mrs. Voaklander informed me that one of the kids is usually shy about reading out loud in class. But on this occasion he really opened up. Man did he read. It was amazing seeing the kids devouring the book. I know now that I am doing the right thing. The reading run is still two days away but that doesn’t mean I have to wait to share my book with kids.
It’s surprising the way pieces fall into place when you stay on course, focused, and with faith. Every step of the way it feels like a path is opening up before my feet. I sure is surprising how everyone is pitching in to see this adventure happen. The support is just pouring in. There have been bad days and there will be more. But, that only makes the good times that much sweeter.
