Mary’s Minute
“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to
mourn for the past, worry about the future, but to live in the present moment
wisely and earnestly.”
~
Buddha
I don’t consider myself a worrier, but I have a terrible habit
of analyzing everything over and over again in my mind. Time is so precious that losing time to mull
over the past or worry about the future is such a waste. I know this intellectually, but emotionally
it is not always easy to let go and live in the moment. What I like about the advice from Buddha is it
reminds us that by living in the present we not only can be happier, but can
also be healthier. That is powerful
stuff! Live in the moment to be happy
AND healthy!
When I think about what makes Perry Central special, I
think that the overall ability of our staff members to live in the moment with
our students is what helps create our caring community. Yes, we have to use past data and plan for
the future, but what sets PC apart is the ability of our teachers and staff to
care about students in the moment. Our
teachers understand that living in the present matters and that our students
deserve that! Here's to living in the
present wisely and earnestly!
Have a
great week!
Mary
