I. Last week, I had a full length conversation with one of my students who has selective mutism. During the conversation, she used normal/appropriate volume! It was the first time she's ever talked louder than a whisper since I started working with her a year and a half ago!
II. This care package/birthday gift I received in the mail from my aunt and uncle.
III. Last Friday (2/10), I tightened up my belt. This is an old belt that I just recently started wearing again after years of not being able to because it was too small. It was an awesome non-scale victory!
IV. That the rain held off on Saturday until I got in my 7 mile walk AND that it was warm enough to wear shorts - in February!
V. The sound of spring peepers over the weekend. It is absolutely one of my most favorite sounds.
VI. This fabulous red velvet french toast that I had during an early birthday brunch on Sunday.
VII. Uninterrupted time with R in the car on Sunday going to and coming from Indianapolis (so that I could eat the aforementioned red velvet french toast).

IX. A blissful, 60 minute, deep tissue massage on Tuesday.
X. The numerous birthday wishes I received from friends and family via mail, email, text, Facebook, phone, and by song. I am blessed beyond measure.
BONUS! Having my favorite Chicago style stuffed crust pizza for dinner on my birthday.
BONUS #2! This surprise birthday gift basket that was waiting for me at work on Wednesday.
BONUS #3! Having today (2/17) and this coming Monday off - extra long weekend! YES!
I hope this finds you having a great Friday and an even better weekend! As always, thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteNon-scale victories are the best!!!!!! Happy Friday and happy belated birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteLet the birthday celebrations continue (so, I can say happy birthday!!)
ReplyDeleteThat first victory gave me goosebumps. What a wonderful thing to experience with your student.
So glad you had such a week filled with happiness for your birthday week.
What a great week. That velvet toast looks scrumptious. And the student talking to you - that must have been such a good feeling. Hope you're enjoying your long weekend.
ReplyDeleteEricka,
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday girlfriend, it sounds like you had a fantastic celebration that spilled over into other parts of your week. I especially hope you enjoyed your extra long weekend. I've got a short week ahead myself, with Friday off, too, so just a three day worn week for moi. :)
That's really amazing (and remarkable) your student spoke at normal level of sound. That's really awesome :) :)
Cheers to a great week ahead love. xox
