This photo is my son's elementary school principal, Arrica Dubose, directing carpool traffic in the RAIN yesterday. It's finally raining! Plus, I get this display of loving leadership. I call that a good day.

It's easy to forget to thank these special people in our lives. I'm making a conscious effort to improve in that regard. The older I get, the more I appreciate how difficult it is to be more than is expected of you. Words of appreciation help. A lot.
