I started back to school this week.
Teacher week.
Gloria has been home with me all summer,
yet today – without light –
her necklace glowed.
Why?
Was she giving me hope and inspiration?
Was she wanting to be noticed, not alone?
Is she telling me something?
Does she know and remember going back to school,
and is that making her nervous?
Gloria, no worries.
I will always have your back and love you.
Keep on glowing.
Jennie

nice
Thank you.
It will be another wonderful year for both of you!!
Thanks, Darlene!
I think it’s anticipation bubbling to the surface. I bet she (and you) can’t wait to meet the children and read Goodnight Moon.
I think you’re right, Dan, on both counts.
it is glowing, and probably how you both were feeling, excited to begin another year, doing what you love.
Exactly! Thanks, Beth.
It’s going to be another amazing year and Gloria knows it.
I think she does! Thank you, Deborah.
A new batch of kids will meet Gloria. What thrills await them!
Yes!!
I’d say that Gloria is eager to get back to school and meet her new friends!
I think so, Liz!
😃
Oh, Gloria! Sending positive energy —with all her glowy wonder! Quite the fab photo, Jennie! ❤️😉❤️
Many thanks, Vicki! 💕
xo! 💝
Beyond special, Jennie.
Awww… that’s so nice, Jacqui. Thanks!
Aww! Have a great new school year Jennie.
Thanks so much, FR!
“Keep on glowing”, Jennie!
Will do! 😍
Looking forward to a terrific school year.
Many thanks, John.
😊
what fun that Gloria is so enthusiastic for the new school year. I’m sure it will be a great one.
Thanks, Robbie. I think so, too!
Have you ever considered how many children Gloria has helped to understand about not judging a book by its cover. I hope you have a great school year, my friend.
I have considered that often, Pete. When older children stop by to visit, they often ask, “Is Gloria still here?” It’s always in the context of loving her because she was non judgmental and always accepting. That’s big! Many thanks, Pete! I’m so glad we’re friends. 🥰
I hope that you and Gloria as well as all your aquaroomers have a wonderful year, Jennie. I’m sure you will.
Thanks, Carla!
Good to know you have started going back to school. Gloria is looking fine
Many thanks, Kamal!
Best wishes for the beginning of your school year. I had students for 3 days this past week, so far so good!
Thanks, Karma. I’m glad you’re off to a good start. Any update on the eviction?
Bless her she is the best 💜💜💜💜.
I love this poem 💜💜💜
😍
Oh Jennie — there is magic wherever you and Gloria happen to be. 😀 Thanks for sharing this delightful moment with us. Hugs.
That’s so nice, Teagan. Many thanks and many hugs!
Have a wonderful new year and keep showing your glorious glow! xx
Thank you.
Jennie, this truly warmed my heart. There is something so beautiful and almost magical about Gloria glowing just as a new school year begins. May her light continue to bring love, comfort, and joy to you and all the children whose lives she touches. ❤️✨
Many thanks for your lovely comment!
Have a wonderful school year, Jennie! I miss it when August and September hit…
Thanks Becky. I bet you do.
Have a great school year, Jennie. A lucky group of kids are entering your world this week. And you and Gloria will change their lives. What awesome responsibility but you’re up to the challenge.
That’s so nice, Steve. Thank you. Yes, I’m up for the challenge.
A bright spot for both of you. Happy new school year.
Thank you, Marlene!
Always welcome Jennie ❤️
Thank you, Kamal!
I think the glow is because she remembers and is very excited to get back to school and see all the children again!
😍
Yay for Gloria and a brand new year to make new friends! 🧡
Thanks, Debby!
💜
Jennie and Gloria getting back to doing what they do best…and I am sure both of you are ready and “glowing” for the new year…and for sure will always have each other’s backs!
That’s so nice, Bruce. Many thanks!
