Yes, I can see that your batteries are charged and your light is shining. Peace to you this new school year, and may it be better than the last one.

I made the mistake of signing up for ten sessions of PD (some were only an hour long, but still...) on top of finishing Reading Academy...and poof, there went my summer. I am so glad you got to recharge and be that beacon of light in your library again!Chris Margocshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261261993571716230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682499942234804128.post-71271330802956540132022-08-05T07:02:45.823-04:002022-08-05T07:02:45.823-04:00Linda, you are singing my song with this post.

Not sure my battery is fully recharged yet but that sunflower is a singular shot of hope and courage in itself - and I've long loved the phrase "Bloom where you're planted". Thank you for this brightness today!Fran Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295033583781089018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682499942234804128.post-76648846541887586702022-08-04T14:55:34.069-04:002022-08-04T14:55:34.069-04:00Yay for rest and relaxation!

Sometimes our bucket list is overloaded with "things" not spiritual side of life. Your "however, but, yet" statement puts an emphasis on what is essential-Family! This summer will remain as a memorable one for you after a difficult school year. Your batteries are charged so fill your soul with the sweet sounds and images of what meant so much to you. Your flower graphic and last lines offer such a joyous poetic flair to your post. May the summer light continue to nurture your soul as you enter a new school year. Perhaps, we will be able to catch up in September. Thank for adding your Bloom where you are planted inspirational image to my padlet.Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682499942234804128.post-77702738903729609592022-08-04T07:52:40.580-04:002022-08-04T07:52:40.580-04:00"I have enough light to keep going."
