Friday Favorites





Welcome to my Friday Favorites for this January week.  As always, I am joining with Susanne and other grateful blog friends over at Living to Tell the Story. 

Democracy Wins! -  Rejoice and give thanks! The inauguration of our President Biden was uplifting and inspiring.  I am praying for our new president because when he does well, we all benefit.  I am also praying for healing of the divisions in our country, and that we can return once again to being, "one nation under God."

Vice President Kamala Harris - As our nation becomes more inclusive, it is good for all Americans! I am pleased that we have a woman as as our new Vice President.  The glass ceiling has been shattered. 

Watching the Inauguration at School - We watched the inauguration of President Biden and Vice President Harris in my classroom Wednesday morning.  It is a historic event and I felt like my students should see it.  I am grateful that I was able to watch the inauguration in real time. 

Sunny winter days - A big snow storm is predicted for our area this weekend, but this week had some sunny days with blue skies and moderate winter temperatures - perfect for afternoon walks with Charly. 

More exercise - Even though I walk with Charly around our neighborhood most days after I get home, I have been going downstairs most evenings after dinner for more exercise.  I usually listen to a podcast or watch TV while exercising, I have come to look forward to and enjoy my additional after dinner workouts. 

Rented!  - our income property condo has been vacant for a couple of  months since the last tenant moved out, but a few days ago, our property manager emailed us with the good news that we likely will have a new renter moving in soon.  That is good news!

What has gone well in your world this week?  I will leave you with this from the talented young poet, Amanda Gorman, who read her moving and powerful poem at President Biden's inauguration.
