Good good

I'm just bursting - I have to express my joy, as I've expressed so much angst on here before. I LOVE my job. I love my kids. They're so much fun - they express so much affection for me that I am overwhelmed with gratefulness. I wish I had pictures of them to show you how cool they are. But I feel very lucky, being four weeks in, to already have the rapport with my students that usually takes months to build. Like usually, three quarters. Like, March is when I usually feel this kind of connection.

And I've lost 16 pounds doing Weight Watchers, and I see no end in sight to my progress. It's exciting, and I feel good, and come March when I reach my goal weight, I will put a picture up to show you how smokin' I am. I feel good, and I'm loving my life right now. WHAT A DIFFERENCE a year can make. Sheez. I am so thankful.

So, raise a glass to this year, for me. It's long overdue. Too freakin' long.
