So Lucky

*I was going to start a new blog and this was my first post there, so I apologize to the couple of you that have already read this. I wrote it about 2 weeks ago. I decided I like wordpress better, so I’m back.

The past 3 months have been nothing less of chaos. Twelve+ hours a day at school, most of my “free time” spent doing teaching related stuff, etc. I’ve loved every minute, but there are times when the stress and constant struggle to keep up get the best of me.

Yesterday I realized how blessed I truly am to have this job. A brand new school, amazing team and principal, everything. As I was walking through the halls (without my kids, so I took in things I normally don’t) I just had to stop and thank God. The atmosphere is so uplifting- bright colors everywhere, soft music playing in the halls and incredible art work covering the walls (our art teacher fills all the extra bulletin boards with it). I love this place.

So thank you God for putting me here. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to begin my career at my first choice school. Thank you for the great evaluation I had with my principal last week that ensured me my second year will also be spent here. You are amazing.
