Good morning

good Morning Lord. And it begins. The race is on to see how long it will take to get to the 20th. Countdown begins, minds are alert, thoughts are focused on the end product. Let the show begin. I have to encourage myself today. The children come today. The planning and the rest of the stuff gets put to the test. Did we do it right? Do we have a good bunch of children. Are we prepared? How much longer is this going to go on? What was I thinking? The anticipation and waiting are over. Today is the day. Stay focused and alert.  This is the start of something new. New school, which is nice. New children, who are supposed to be the best of the best to some extent. New people, we will see how they and myself work under stress. This may be a temptation tool. Using all the glitz and glamour (yes,  even teaching can have some perks, few and far between) This summer program does spoil us. Breakfast and lunch everyday. Four people to a class room. Supplies, supplies, supplies. This is how teaching should be. Stay focused and know that this is only temporary. Remind myself of the almost two hour drive each way. That'll bust my bubble instantly. Have to get ready to leave.

We are family. We do have to hold each other accountable and the most important thing is to remember that we really and truly do need each other. We need each other in the very basic of needs. The need for security, for belonging, for love and comfort, for sharing and growth. For love. We need each other. Be blessed today and be a true blessing to someone special. I love you.
