I miss the writing community I found in #TeachersWrite, although I'm certainly looking forward to it this summer. I think I'll try out #SoLS to keep writing, responding and building community. Here's my first Slice: Thankful . . .
That the clutch gave out and the car started popping, grinding and emitting a burnt rubber smell, when I was actually behind Canadian Tire, only a one minute walk away from the front door. That I had stopped the car at the top of the hill so I could put it in neutral, push it and roll my standard car the whole 400 metres to the front of Canadian Tire, instead of calling the number of the tow-truck given to me. That I only live three blocks from my school, so I can walk and don’t need a rental car. That there are a number of mechanics in the area and we don’t have to use the same one that fixed the clutch twice over the last few months. Thankful for the small miracles . . .

It is hard to be thankful and grateful in moments like that. But it does sound like this could have been a lot worse! And welcome. You are going to love this writing community.
