I decided this year that I would make a conscious effort to take teaching one day at a time. It's such a future-oriented, planning-ahead career. I so easily get wrapped up in looking ahead and thinking of what's coming next, that I often don't truly cherish the day, or even the moment I am in. I think this constant looking ahead has drained me in past years. It has caused me to over-think and over analyze things way too much. Although there is something to be said about planning and thinking ahead, it can get to a point of too much.
So this year...I'm taking it one day at a time. One day at a time to cherish. One day at a time to mold minds and hearts. One day at a time to impact 21 little ones with God's love.
Inspirational! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI needed this right now. I was considering sitting down to prep even more for the week, instead I think I'll snuggle with Anthony. I have everything ready for tomorrow. Thanks girl!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely dreading the 6:00 alarm tomorrow!! : ) I can't even remember the last time I got up that early...well probably the last day of school!
ReplyDeleteI too get up to pray and read the word-I think it really helps.
thanks for this reminder too! I always look and plan ahead-counting down the days or weeks until the next break or big event. It probably actually makes the year go by even slower! i am going to try to do this too!
