1. The ability to explore new territory.
The past five years have taught me that there are always new things to discover (not only through traveling but even at home) if we keep our sense of curiosity alive and get beyond what's familiar.
2. Teenage pupils who aren't very good at staying mad at their mean teacher for more than a day.
One of my teens even had me as a guest at his birthday party.
3. Apps that provide ambient noise as a sleep aid.
4. A painless root canal.
Thank heavens!
5. The feeling of seeing someone reach new heights as a reaction to your teaching and leadership.
6. Southerners.
I think everyone else is great too, but southerners will always have a special place in my heart. There's nothing like southern charm, language, beauty, traditions, hospitality, drawls and accents...and the list goes on.
7. Personal contentment.
By the grace of God, I have always felt sufficiently content and confident without thinking I need someone else to make me happy.
8. Books, blogs, articles, and quotes from folks whose financial lives inspire and empower everyday people.
9. People who give you their place in the checkout line when they see that you have far fewer cart items than they have.
10. Echoes of reassuring ideas from people in my past.
Have you had the experience of hearing/learning something at a time in life when you aren't ready to truly grasp it? For me, I love the way those things seem to stay with me until I've matured enough to embrace and apply them.
