Best Day Ever

This week's entry is short and sweet, and I stole it from my wife, who is the principal at Cumberland Road Elementary School.  She sent the following words as part of her weekly email.

As we all return to work after Spring Break, I hope this helps you come back ready to make the last months of school great for yourself and for your students.

From Lisa: This is the Best Day Ever

Amelie getting ready to start the best day ever!

Our granddaughter, Amelie, spent the week before Spring Break with us and then we took her down to Nashville and on to Florida for Spring Break.

Amelie lives each day with the philosophy that it is "the BEST day ever!" When her dad texted to check on how she's doing and I asked her, she replied, "I played pirates with Noah and it was the BEST day ever." The next day I'd ask her again and she'd say, "I played dress-up with Mercy. It was the BEST day ever!" The next day? You've got it. "The BEST day ever!"

Each day at the beach, whether it was so windy we had to stay on the deck or she could be building sand castles near water's edge and bossing her Auntie Mercy around, she would often stop, throw her hands up in the air, and say, "This is the BEST day ever!"

I want to live my life like she does. I'm going to write her quote on a sticky note and put it on my computer monitor so I can be reminded, "This is the BEST day ever!"
