Dear So and So

Dear Holly,

Thank you for giving me the idea to thank the people and things that affect my life. I just can't wait to see you soon!

Dear Mom,

Thank you for eating breakfast with me this morning and starting off my day with a smile. Even though I don't always show it, I love being able to see you everyday and I am lucky to have the mom that I have.

Dear Barista at Starbucks,

It's people like you that put a smile on my face everyday. You genuinely cared about my day and what is going on in my life even though you don't even know me. That 2 minute conversation reminded me how even the shortest of interactions can really influence an entire day.

Dear Cohort,

I missed you all! Thank you for being my support system during these 13 months of school. You make me laugh, you make me cry, and you understand the little things that I am going through.

Dear Megan,

I loved our little night together last night. You are such a treat and I'm saving a piece of zucchini bread for you even though you thought it was a bad idea to make it. Your taste buds will thank me later.

Dear Zucchini Bread,

You were delicious, thank you for inhibiting my weight loss multiple times today.

Dear Oregon,

It was good of you to not rain today so that I could get some exercise with Tara. We both needed it.

Dear Lewis and Clark,

Even though you are a constant source of stress in my life, you are providing me with a great deal of growth and strength as I learn how to become a teacher.

Dear Laura,

You are the best sister-in-law I could ever ask for so thank you for everything that you do for me.

Dear Reading,

Stop looming over my shoulder. I will get you done just stop pestering me.

Love,

Anne
