I suppose that subject title is a bit of a misnomer. In truth, today was not a gentle morning. In fact, there was far too much yelling (on my part) as the normal flurry of getting everyone up and out the door grew into more than normal chaos. But then there was this beautiful sky. And an unusually peaceful morning commute in which I think we all noticed that gorgeous sky. And tomorrow we all start a long and cozy winter break.
So today, I'm going to try to be gentle with myself. No matter how the day started. And at this time of year especially, my wish is that we all remember that for ourselves and one another!
