From Lorien this morning on the drive to school:
"Once I made up a feeling that there was no word for that feeling yet--like excited, frustrated or happy. I called it the 'Orion Feeling'. I had to think of a feeling that meant happy, safe and excited. It was just that as soon as I would walk into the halls I would get that feeling...I would be so happy to see my friends and I knew I would be safe and I would be so excited about spending the day at Orion. And now I am starting to have the 'Orion Feeling' about Laurel. I cannot wait to see my friends!"
Orion was the school Lorien attended Kindergarten through 2nd grade. I thought it was so clever of her to try and come up with a word to describe the way she felt about school. She ran through her list of feelings and when nothing could encompass all that she felt, she came up with a word on her own.
