I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Come a-waltzing with #9

And 1-2-3, 1-2-3... Here's my #9:

The Christmas Waltz 



Why it makes the list: How can you not love Frank Sinatra in this song? It's short and sweet...and it paints a vivid image of a living room festively prepared for the holidays. Such a pretty picture! And an added bonus? --> Being a waltz, this song is in 3/4 time, and I love how the song actually makes use of that in its lyrics. Clever!

Will you have this dance?
