"Dwell on the beauty of
life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them."
--Marcus Aurelius
During the first week of school a teacher said to me that
she had forgotten how good it would be to see the kids. Getting ready to reopen school, dealing with the
stress of the pandemic, and feeling the anxiety of uncertainty was consuming.
In life it is easy to focus on the challenges, but this
teacher reminded me of something so important.
When we dwell in the positive of life, the negative doesn’t seem so
overwhelming.
In education, the positive part of our job is working with
children!
To focus on the positive instead of the negative should be
easy, but we all know it isn’t. There is
so much more good than bad in the world – even during a pandemic.
Sadly, we may get 50 words of praise, but we focus on the
one word of criticism. We need to focus
on the positive! We need to focus on the
stars and run to them!
Have
a great week!
Mary
