Jasmine,I have enjoyed reading your posts. Your last 3 words say it all about friends--love, care, fun. Congratulations on completing your slices. Continue your writing even though no one is watching. This is my goal now, too.

It's like a breath of fresh air and like the first day of spring and summer, a new beginning! It makes me feel ready to begin again. With the Keynote, I listened to six speakers. Some of course were the same speakers because I liked Jeff Anderson so much, I went back to hear him twice. I felt he could help me with what I wanted to learn at this time to help my students the most at this time. With that said, summer brings in things we don't have to do; we don't have to wear winter coats, no worry about snow or shoveling, the lack of ice on the roads makes it so much easier to drive and easier to walk, we don't freeze and have cold breezes that make it hard to breathe in the cold, no fear of sickness like colds or flu, and finally we feel more like being outside (well I don't like cold) so I stay inside more in the winter.
