Days 9-11 giving thanks

Day 9: I am thankful for the ability to have 2 flexible jobs. It is lovely to be able to leave for extended periods of time or need random days off and still have both of the jobs. Both jobs give me hours that very very rarely ever coincide with meeting- it is great and something I am very thankful for! Sunridge Village Retirement has given me 5+ years of experience and Hap Abraham Catering has given me almost 3 years of some of the most interesting experiences and opportunities. I am thankful for my jobs.

Day 10: I am thankful for the Rockstars- Burke High School's students with moderate to severe disabilities. Each one is so unique, so talented. They conquer their fears and find the courage to overcome disabilities, to perform in front of large crowds, to persevere to take steps. They stole my heart... again- as they each performed in the musical!

 Hannah (in the purple) singing :)

 Andy and Miranda- a song that brought tears and many cheers in the end!

 Oh Curtis... being blind doesn't hold him back :) I remember singing with you in front of the school at an assembly but a few years ago. :)

 Miss Becca and I- she graduated last year, but her hugs are the best :)

* I have a great video of them singing, but I will post it later! *

Day 11: Today I am thankful for freedom. The United States of America is called "the land of the free." Americans honor Veterans and soldiers today and remember the freedoms that they have fought for and the freedom we have here.
