How about you? What are you celebrating today?
I don't know if the mean words and attacks were toward you or a student, but I went through a smiler thing a month ago. Words can be so hurtful but it looks like you are persevering through grace and goodness. Good for you!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much MaryHelen! I completely agree!
DeleteI'm celebrating that these posts celebrate the positive even when the going is tough for some.
ReplyDeleteI liked this style of poetry with a patterned beginning. The different celebrations sparked celebrations in my own mind! Have another great week.
ReplyDeleteMy motto is really "Optimism overcomes obstacles." But three weeks ago I was MAD! Then I heard this quote, "Staying mad at someone and letting it get to you is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." I'm only human, and optimism doesn't always work, but poison stinks. So I let it go - until it happens again. I will then address it before I boil over! Thanks for leading me to your blog again, Michelle - it's been awhile! Great job with the #litjourneys chat, as always. The group flourishes under your leadership! :-D Have an excellent week ahead.
