I come writing this post, with nothing on my agenda. I have nothing, or no topic which I want to write about today. Normally I could talk about life, or love, or what it means to be happy, but tonight, I write, whatever comes to my head. As a kid growing up I longed for a life where everything was simple, and nothing was complicated. As I grow older, I am realizing that words like "simple" just don't exist. Each day, every single person on the earth is faced with something that could cause them to shake every belief, every hope, and every dream they had. I don't know every single person on this earth, nor will I ever. I always try to look for the best in people, even if it's the hardest thing I've ever done. I trust people, too easily sometimes. I want to treat people the way I want to be treated in return. Some may call me a dreamer, and I know I think way to much, but how can any person sit and watch the sun go down, and not be a dreamer? The other day, I found myself sitting outside and taking in the sounds and smells of the evening. I watched the sun go down, and I watched as the birds gracefully glided through the sky. I sometimes forget about the beautiful life God has created for me, and for you. As people, we get so wound up in the norm that we forget to take a break from our schedule, and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. I have learned that it's not what you receive for your birthday, or how much money, it's about the people you spend it with. Growing up, is something that cannot be controlled. No amount of plastic surgery, or boob jobs can make you grow younger. I'm sorry all you old people, yes, we CAN tell when you have had so much surgery that your face is starting to look like the plastic. I am rambling now, something I do often. Have a good night all my readers, and remember: Nothing in life is more important than your faith, friends, and family.
One day I'll get around to sharing the story about how I applied for and got my new job. I have to say that it most certainly is 100% credited to my Heavenly Father and his plan for my life. Often we don't see the things we need in life until things are put into our path that lead us in a different direction. For the purpose of this post I wanted to share some thoughts being on the outside of the beginning of a new school year. This is mostly for my teacher friends and those who start teaching this year so if you get bored, please do yourself a favor and stop reading. Being a teacher is a tough gig. Daily we make thousands of split-second decisions and impact people in ways we will never fully know the extent of. John Hattie once said, "know thy impact." Each day you'll strive to be better than the day before. You'll hope and pray that your babies (students) will learn something more than just "things." We'll hope and pray that they learn how t...
