Monday Morning (3.12.2020)

Monday morning had every reason to be hectic:

• a full moon
• it was a Monday
• it was still super dark outside at 8 AM
• the first school day after Daylight Saving Time
• it started raining 10 minutes before arrival
• illness was prevalent throughout our student population
• Mercury was in retrograde (I think)

I am sure the list could go on...

Just as I walked outside to direct the first 6 cars through the drop-off zone, I looked up and saw the sky on fire in the east. It was truly breathtaking. I held up traffic, quickly grabbed my phone and snapped this picture. As soon as it had appeared, all the colors faded and the sun came up. It was a gentle reminder that the day held so much promise. Despite the rain and well-managed chaos, there was beauty to be seen if I look for it.
