Hope...


Tonight I am exhausted...physically, mentally, emotionally. I am trying to push through, but I don't have much left in my tank. I come home, take long naps, and wake up, still exhausted.

My heart has been heavy all week. I need to move forward...I need to cling to hope because that is all there is...hope. Hope for a future that is better...that is where I put my energy now...Hope..

This is the e-letter I received tonight, which I feel I must share with you.

Just Stop....

Note: This might be more of my opinion than you like...I am sorry if you don't agree. I am comfortable agreeing to disagree...Just my thoughts today! Today I had another migraine...I am over it. Two awful headaches in two weeks requiring medication...Ugh! Sometimes I want to tell my body...stop, JUST STOP!!! Stop hurting, stop! I have had enough... There are so many times this year I want to say: Just Stop ! To my students : Just Stop! I know that you think that you know what it's going to be like in high school, but you don't. I really have knowledge here and I want to help  you... Trust me! To the Parents:   Just Stop! Stop blaming others and help us help your student. Know that your vote matters. We want to support your student...we love them too, but we can't without money and volunteer time. Come to events, let us help you, help them... To my district: Just Stop! I know that the OAKS test is important (our state assessment), but  we need to focus

Perspective....

Image
Throughout our lives, we have lessons to learn. Some of these lessons are painful...others fleetingly come through our lives, swiftly going by. One of the most important part about lessons is being willing to learn them... If we are unwilling to learn then we will be unable to move forward. Whether or not we are willing to learn is determined by our perspective. Our mental view determines the next step. Perspective...how we view the world and others around us. How we interpret information and process it.  The cartoon on the right really illustrates where I am right now in my personal life. I recognize that perspective is a driving force and I must work to maintain my perspective. Recognizing that others may not see things the same as I do is expected, but the variance in perspective is what I am struggling with.  I am not sure what lessons I am to be learning right now...the parts of my life that have kept me grounded have left me floating aimlessly. My heart is pounding

Expectation vs Reality...

Image
Life is never what it seems...reading the titles of seminars in brochures can be a mixed bag. Sometimes the seminar that you get is far beyond what you could have imagined, while other times what you get is so much less than you ever thought possible. How is it that there is this complex dilemma regarding expectations? How is it that the reality of life can either far exceed (or be far more underwhelming) than one thought possible? You never know whether to expect triumph or tragedy...an ebb or flow. It's like coming to the table expecting the grandest feast and instead being served gruel and moldy bread. Where is the equity? Expectations versus reality can be a difficult space to have in your brain. Wanting to be realistic about the expectations that are possible while not being defeated about what reality is serving up. Seeing ahead and knowing what the end game is, but being confronted with a winding maze with dead ends and obstacles not mentioned beforehand. The strong put on
