bloom, little blossoms

61. pruning away of the old, making room for the new blooms

62. cute creatures made out of candy, cake and a little creativity

60. colorful wax, melting, swirling at light touch of hot iron

I have to share some gifts from earlier in my list because they are incredibly exciting:

53. tentative opening up of souls

54. fragile trust reaching out

55. things being said that have been bottled up for too long

56. my shyest student staying after school and talking with me like a little chatterbox for A WHOLE HOUR!!!!!!!!

57. the feeling that this is why I'm a teacher
