SOL Day 10 - Today's Word Is Relaxed

What a joy today has been! Nowhere to be, no one expecting anything from me, just a day to relax and recharge.

 So what did I do with such a gift? I slept in a little, because why not, right? I caught up on some shows I've had on DVR and started reading a new book. All things I love.

 The last few minutes I've been shopping for an ottoman - a picture that popped up on my Instagram sent me shopping on the internet. Sadly, I finally found the ottoman that was on my feed. I say sadly because it was $950! Not exactly within my budget! Ha!

 So maybe that's what I will do with some of my time this next week - go on an affordable ottoman hunt. I'm going to have to stay focused on the goal and not get sidetracked into buying other treasures!

 Free from tension and anxiety, at ease...today I feel relaxed!

    A good ottoman is a necessity for reading and relaxing. Try Wayfare and Houzz for some bargains.

SOL Day 15 - Today's Word Is Random

Today's the first day that I have sat down to write without an idea already brewing. So here are some random thoughts... Seems to me if we want students to believe that we consider them the future of our country, then maybe we should listen to what would make them feel safe at school.  I get the whole right to bear arms - just not sure I can connect that to the right to bear automatic weapons.  I love to watch mindless television shows like Survivor. I know they have no redeeming value, but I like them because I don't have to think. My favorite hobby is reading. When I'm really into a book, I'm torn between wanting to see how it turns out and not wanting the book to end. As soon as I finish a book, I usually buy a new one. I am enjoying writing in this blog more than I ever thought I would.  Without definite aim, reason, or pattern...today's word is random.

SOL Day 8 - Today's Word Is Thankful

The two curriculum directors I spend the most time with are both highly talented educators. I love the way we begin with one idea, and each add a different perspective. The final product is always better than any of us could have done alone. I love having a part in the teamwork. Our curriculum team presented our review materials to assistant principals today. Just like yesterday, they clapped as we unveiled the resources. Both times I had to hold myself back from taking a bow! Ha! Tomorrow is the beginning of a much needed break. I don't have specific plans for the days off, but that alone is a fabulous feeling! No schedule, no plans. Grateful, appreciative...today I am thankful.

SOL Day 7 - Today's Word Is Joy

I love my job! No two days are exactly the same, and the work is challenging. Eleven years ago, I declared my intentions to work my way towards this position. A year and a half ago, I finally succeeded. I cried, no sobbed is a better word, for a full twenty minutes when I got the call. Now we are working on a restructuring that I DO believe will benefit our students. I can see the potential, and I understand the need. It doesn't make facing the end of the dream any easier to bear.  So how do you make peace with that? For me, it means setting my frame of mind before I leave the house. I believe that happiness is mostly a choice. There are countless blessings to see if I'm looking with that as a focus. There are also countless irritations and doubts if I let that be the focus.  Joy - delight, happiness, well-being. Today's word is joy. I choose joy.
