Strange Occurrences

Since I've been in Thailand, I've noticed some strange occurrences.
1. I started flossing.
2. My room is clean, and it has stayed that way.
3. I've been doing laundry regularly.
4. I learned how to iron pleated skirts, all the while wondering WHY schools would require such a uniform. It is more trouble for the parents/caretakers than for the kids! Why not settle on a nice pair of wrinkle-free slacks or shorts with a wrinkle-free polo?
5. I went jogging.
6. I have free time.

Everything else over here seems to be as it should, but these things have simply baffled me.

Hi Stephanie,
I just read all your posts and I have to say this one was the funniest. Very creative writing about your anxiety. :)
I'm not sure if I've told you but I'm working in the Resource room with Nancy at Southside Elementary. I have a sixth-grade writing group that are excited about starting a "Flat Stannley" project, although we have a talented artist in the group that has created "Tubba Blubba" characters. So, our Flat Stanley has become Flat Mack. I'm still working on parent letters and getting the project going, but would you be interested in having our kids write back and forth? We would love to learn about Thailand.

Keep up the great posts and have fun with all your books. God plays a hand in it all. :)

Hey Chantel,
I don't know much about 'Flat Stanley', but I think it would be great to have our kids write back and forth! It would be great for them to practice writing, and I think they would find it interesting as well.

Yes, God certainly does play a hand in it all. Maybe it's because things are so much slower paced here, but I feel like I am so much more aware of His presence on a daily basis without the distractions of normal life. He is so good to me.
