Miracles

I'd like to share some miracles with you.  

Yesterday, something incredible happened.  He finally walked back through my door.  On Easter I told you about my student who ran away from home.  Well, he's been found.  He's also been in jail, but that is another story.  What matters is that he came back to us yesterday.  It was my personal miracle.  To look out and see him there with a big grin, wanting to answer my every question.  There was a peace among the class.  A collective exhale.  We were complete again.

Today, I complete my Master's degree.  My Master's portfolio is due by midnight, and it's pretty damn good.  What a beautiful miracle, to accomplish something like that. 

This morning, I saw Emily from MTV's Real World and The Challenge while I was grabbing breakfast.  

Alyssa and I were pretty addicted to the last Challenge tv show, so I knew exactly who Emily was when she walked into the coffee shop in Lowry.  "But Em, that is not a miracle" you say.  Listen people, my life is exhausting and stressful right now.  I actually had to stop teaching yesterday to ask a student to stop measuring his own head in class.  If I see someone from TV and it makes me smile - it is a miracle!
