Citat af dagen... Quote of the day

Citat af dagen.....Så vi kørte med Jess fra lufthavnen til mit mors hus.....

Quote of the day......As Jess drove us from the airport to my moms......

(og dette citat viser at "jeg har boet i Danmark for langt!" LOL)

(and this quote shows that "I have lived in Denmark too long!" LOL)

"Skat, kan du tro hvor mange butikker og huse ligger langs med vejen?! Dette er meget overvildet!!"

"Honey, can you believe how many shops and houses there are along the highways?! This is so overwhelming!!"

Jul på skolen...Christmas at the school

Hver dage på skolen denne uge på skolen har vi haft "morgensamlinger" til alle elever og medarbejder som har lyst at komme. Julesang, juletræer og julehistorier er fortalt af rektor.... En hyggelig måde "at bringe ind julesæson" sammen med hinanden. Så jeg nød det, var jeg lidt ked af, at vi ikke kan holde den sammen i USA på skolerne...

Every day this week at school we have had "morning gatherings" for all students and staff who want to come. Christmas songs, Christmas trees, and Christmas stories told by the principal.... a really cosy way to usher in the Christmas season together. As I enjoyed these days, I was a little sad that we are not allowed to do something like this in the schools in the US......

Jule morgensamlinger var en dejlig måde at starte dagen på!

Christmas morning gatherings were a great way to start the school day!

Skønhed... Beauty

Vi har det travlt. Vi skynder os fra plads til plads og tjekker ting fra vores list. Men sommetider skulle vi stoppe og ser ud vinduet. Jeg gjorde det på vejen fra Danmark til London i torsdags. Jeg var træt og jeg havde det travlt og jeg havde mange opgaver at rette.... men så jeg så ud vinduet, følte jeg fred og indset, at verden er faktisk utrolig smuk. Kan du stoppe og ser ud vinduet idag? Jeg undrer mig hvad skønhed, at du skal se.....

We are busy people. We rush from place to place and check things off our lists. But sometimes we need to stop and look out the window. I did that on my way from Denmark to London on Thursday. I was tired and I was busy and I had a stack of essays that needed to be edited. But as I looked out the window, I felt peace, and I realized that the world really is quite beautiful. Can you stop and look out the window today? I wonder what beauty you will see....
