There WAS a Reason for Yesterday's Rerun

I stand corrected. Oh, yes I do. This week-end, for the first time since our first child began school in 2000, we received a "just because" note from a teacher.

When I went to the mailbox on Saturday and saw the post card from the middle school, I thought:
"Over-due library book?"
"Mom-to-mom resale?"
"School tax increase?"
to which the answers were:
No.
No.
No.
It was a note from our son's language arts and social studies teacher.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Flag,
Your son has been chosen as Student of the Month in my classroom. He is such a great person to have in class - always prepared and has such a positive attitidue! What a great role model he is.
Sincerely,
His teacher
I'll stand corrected any day. Thank-you, teacher, for taking the extra time to send that note.

It's always nice to hear things like that but so much better to have a note... which you can read as often as you'd like :)

I have always been a believer of, "If you send things out to the universe, the universe will take care of you." It worked!
