Monday Memo Musings

Today is the longest day of the year! Hope it doesn't feel like that... after you've been working so hard all weekend. Don't think we don't notice... cause we do! You are a very hard working group of people who are set to close up this school year with the grace and honor you started it with! Thank you Some words we will hear this week are: Its so nice to be able to say good bye to our kids properly this week.- NOT ( I'm counting the days to freedom, this week cant go fast enough!)) These kids have so much fun energy.... NOT-( These kids are sucking the life out of me) I am checking off everything on my list, it will all get done, no worries.... NOT- ( How am I ever going to get this done, I'll never do it, Shane and Anne are just pushing me too hard)  I'm going to sit down today to plan what I need for the whole week... NOT... (hey I know!!! I"ll have a nice five course meal for my kids on the last day of school hosted by a souse chef from In...

Whatever comes after I am..... will find you!  One of Joel Osteen's sermons included this idea: Whatever follows “I am…” will find you.  That is, when you’re thinking of yourself and you’re assigning adjectives to who you are, bear in mind that those states will find you and define you.  Or, stated another way, this is the reality about yourself you’ve already created and are continuing to create. Here are some statement you might want to use to define you.  I am beautiful. I am confident. I am secure. I am blessed. I am talented. I am smart. I am disciplined. I am vibrantly healthy. I am a contribution. I am at peace. I am connected to God. I am approved  I am powerful. I am aware. I am grateful. I am wealthy. I am solid. I am here now. I am good with numbers. I am without armor. I am brave. I am victorious. I am a brilliant spark of God. I am strong. I am a good decision maker. I am focuse...

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain telling me what a fool I've been, for ever wishing the rain away.  Rain cleanses the soul, gives the earth a bath and awakens sleeping plants, animals and people. With another fire burning out of control near the Wood Buffalo park we can predict more smokey days.  Well it is Smokin' at Spirit this week. Several of you entered the Spring Sprint. Cool! Logan Goobie ran 5 km. Teiya MacArthur went in the mud run! The  Grade 4's and 5's are having finals. Life skills are running another fabulously planned and delicious BBQ on Tuesday get your order in with Shelly please.  The joys of rain, this little one just bounces back. We all fall down, but to bounce back up with a smile is just so cool.  Proud like a mountain of you-  So proud of Hannah she will be expanding her Tai kwondo business and leaving us at Spirit. Best of luck with that. Hiiiiiii yaaa Andrew Nicholson is leaving Spirit with wishes...
