Happy

Do I sound crazy when I say I'm afraid to admit that I'm happy? It always seems like life kicks you in the face when you stop to savor the moment....

I love teaching! I'm so tired. Being a first year teacher is so much more tiring than I realized, but it is such a great tired feeling! Everything will be so much easier year 2! Tweaking is so much easier than creating. Being through it all once will help me so much when I'm doing everything this second time! I love my students. I am tired.

Dad is done with radiation. It was pesky, but there are good meds out there for prostate radiation side effects. Thank goodness for good medicine!

The kids are doing well and I'm thankful. How wonderful that they are stepping to the plate when needed! I am so grateful. Life IS good. I am counting my blessings!!!!

Our greyhound had to be put down.... it was hard. I'm not going to talk about it other than to say that big silly hound will be horribly missed. How nice it was to have such a great presence in our home!

Teaching IS fun, isn't it? Of course it's tiring too, but those 'golden moments' that may only come but once a day whilst teaching are worth everything, aren't they? [grins]

Sorry to hear about your greyhound. My sincere condolences.

Thanks for dropping a post, just so we can know how life is treating you. Thank you, ma'am :)

Great to hear from you Mal! It is so hard to get back to the blog.... perhaps year 2 will give me more free time?

So happy that you are happy. Of all people, you deserve it! It makes me smile, really big.

Sorry about your dog. That is very sad. That is always the hardest part about owning a dog.

Have a great Holiday.

XOXOXOXO

Don't I know it! It's like taunting the devil to have that little happy feeling inside.
I mean with so much that needs to be done, not to mention all the pain and suffering in the lives of those we love. How dare the happy feeling show up!

Hog wash! be happy. And keep happy. It's a blessing to everyone in your life.

It's been a long while since I've been checking around on my favorite blogs. Soooo good to see that you made it to teaching! congrats! You are an inspiration to many. Every time I feel hemmed-in and trapped by my high-ish paying job, I think, "well, grim reality girl did it. years of school to start out at the beginning of a career in something she really wanted to do!" way to go!

love,
wednesdaygirl
