When Aging Mommy read that I was nearing 1000 posts (Saturday), she suggested I do a sort of "Best of" post. That sounded like a great idea to me, so here you go--My favorite 10 posts from the last three years (in no particular order.)
Gifts From My Father (reflection, my dad, also available in audio--see sidebar)
You Go, Girl! (demonstration video, humor)
O.M.G. (short and hilarious)
Still the One (Mr.4444, sweet)
Lost in the Wilderness: A Cautionary Tale of Over-Confidence (my first and probably longest post; a true story that will make you laugh and teach you a thing or two)
You'll notice that most of these posts have no comments. This is because my stupid Haloscan comments never exported when I switched. (That's okay; I remember them :)
Making a Difference (teaching, reflection, a "touchy-feely" post)
Why Kendall Might Wish I Didn't Teach at Her Middle School (probably my all-time favorite post, very funny)
Bent, but Not Broken (a beautiful, true story written by my friend Molly, who is also a teacher)
Christmas Memories (my mom, reflection)
My Momma Don't Dance and What Some Little Old Ladies Have on Their Ipods (my mom, sweetness)
I'd like to also take this time to thank you for being one of the most rewarding aspects of blogging; your heart-felt stories, life lessons, and entertaining posts have been joys to read, and I treasure your friendships. While I love to write, it would not be the same without your feedback. Every time you tell me that you spit your coffee onto your computer screen, get choked up, or are inspired in some way, I feel a rush of happiness and feel validated.
Seriously, thanks.
