June 1 June is such a lovely month, full of the promise of summer flowers, a celebration of our marriage, and time to open my arms wide for summer!
June 2 My work revolves around helping school leaders evaluate teachers in such a way that there is an opportunity for the teacher to see her teaching through a different lens and for the administrator to support and encourage her to give 100% every day.
June 3 I was invited to lunch with a group of administrators who had just finished their recertification process for teacher evaluation and that pleased me to no end!

Welcome July!
I can totally relate to the last one. When we came home from our trip earlier this week we had a mountain of laundry, too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you really love your job. It also sounds like you have a full life, full of love and passion, which is so inspiring. Love this idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree with so many of these. I really like the bacon and waffles day. I love that you have so much happiness in life, a good partner, a good home, fun friends - sounds wonderful. I think a diary like this is a great way to remain positive.
ReplyDeleteIt's a way to count your blessings and acknowledge your pain, all at the same time!
DeleteWhat a great little snippet of your month. Time to bring on July - it's my favorite month!
ReplyDeleteI used to do this, for years and years. But once I had kiddos, I lost my attention span and can no longer write any coherent thoughts! ☺
ReplyDeleteJune 29 is so me! My most requested breakfast when friends are in town or Mini Me has friends sleepover is my homemade waffles....bacon is a must in this house!
ReplyDeleteI love #29! Love your thoughts and how simple this was! Are you going to do July too?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I used to write in a journal all the time, but always felt compelled to fill the pages. I like this line a day version as an alternative. It really focuses you.
ReplyDeleteMy sister in law gave me a Sentence-a-Day journal but I just don't have the discipline to sit down and pen it. So great job to you!

These are all great! I always feel like I don't have time to keep a journal - love the idea of keeping it short and sweet.
ReplyDeleteI've kept a journal since I was about eight, yet there are so many times when I didn't record anything because I didn't want to take the time to write a long, involved entry. This is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Wendy...I have wanted to journal for so long, but I get overwhelmed at starting. I love this one sentence idea, that I can do. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to get in the habit of journaling regularly. One sentence takes the pressure off.
ReplyDeleteI have always had some sort of journal that I've done. It's so much fun to go back and take a look at what I've written in the past.
ReplyDeleteI tend to write a lot as you have probably guessed but I think writing a sentence is a great overview. I used to journal a lot as a kid x
ReplyDeleteI also have a love/hate relationship with doing laundry. I do the best that I can trying to keep up with it but I always have a mound of dirty clothes waiting for me.
