Today I'm starting my first series on this blog, called "What I've Learned This Week." Some things will be funny, some things will be more serious and sobering. What I'm hoping this series does is hold me accountable for being present, and then reflecting on my week. With so much going on in my life, I want to be able to celebrate and appreciate both the minor and the major. So here we go...

What I've learned for the week of October 17th, 2016:

1. When doing a sing-along-song, preschool age children will mimic everything you do with your body (with great power comes great responsibility, which I may have misused once or twice...they're just too darn cute and easily influenced)

2. People who work with preschool age children are heroes and go unrecognized way too often

3. Riding my bike makes me feel relaxed and connected to the earth

4. My eyes are slightly different shapes, and I cannot apply eyeliner the exact same way for each eye and expect it to look even

5. I cannot truly express my gratitude to my parents for the tradition and ritual they created in my life of going to Apple Hill. Whether I venture up there alone to take pictures and enjoy the quiet, or I go with my mom and experience it with her, I just love it, and all of the sweet memories that come along with it
