Thank YOU, Thank YOU, Thank YOU

When I first began this blog, I didn't even understand what a "blog" was.  I certainly had no concept of its "power."
I have laughed and cried through postings on this blog and the blogs of my colleagues.
I have grown in leaps and bounds through YOUR sharing with me.
I have learned more in these short 8 weeks than I ever imagined possible.
I have a new strength to make a difference and become a voice for these amazing young children.
I have made new friends.
Thank you to everyone who has read my words, shared thoughts, and written comments.  I feel part of a community that I wasn't even aware existed.  I had many doubts of obtaining my Master's Degree, but YOU have each lit a candle under me.  Thank YOU for being YOU.  I look forward to learning so much more from YOU! 
Have a wonderful holiday season and special 2012!
Lois
