Needing A Little Grounding

One may think, how could anyone experience unhappiness and stress when you have these two adorable kiddos to come home to!  They certainly do bring a smile to my face after a challenging day at school. This week has been extremely challenging to the point that I find myself doubting whether I will continue a career in teaching. 

However...

 I'm going to take a lesson from my daughter and remember to help out where I can and do it with a smile on my face. 

I'm going to take a lesson from my son and remember when things are looking down, I'm going to sit down, relax and do something that will really bring a smile to my face.

I'm going to take a lesson from nature and remember that just because my surroundings seem to be withering away with the changing of the seasons, I can choose to stand tall and shine like the daisy fighting for everything I believe in.

I'm going to remember to look up and find my strength there. I have a feeling this school year is going to be a year of many personal growth lessons. I hope to remember these lessons and do my best to remain positive this school year.
