Therapeutic Thursday - Teacher Week


Ahhhh.......after a long hot, day in the classroom, we often need a pick-me-up!  That's the theme for today's edition of Teacher Week over at Blog Hoppin'.
The first thing I do upon returning home everyday is take my little lovebug, my dog Berkeley, for a walk. I live in a neighborhood that has lots of trees, so walking him and watching how much he enjoys the sights (and smells) of the neighborhood lightens up my mood.
One of the must-dos on my back to school list is to get a pedicure!  It's fun to wear all the cute summer clothes I have collected at sales throughout the summer, and it won't be long before every foot in Wisconsin is covered in a big, heavy boot, so I savor the last few weeks of sandal-wearing.
 
And another thing I might do to relax is to sit on my patio in my backyard and read the newspaper.  I just love summer and fall, and I have big trees and flowers in the backyard that bring on peace of mind. Ahh......

What do you recommend for Therapeutic Thursday?

    1. Hi Kelly,

      Berkeley is actually a cock-a-poo, but people often think he is a Bichon.

      I agree about needing a payday for the pedicure!
