I am not feeling well today, my stomach is hurting me and I am weak. On the way into work I thought to myself, "this is going to be the worst day ever." I am not sure why I am feeling this way but it has been a long week and there are a few people ill at the house so....those could all be factors or not. I think this is one of the things that's really driving me crazy right now is not knowing the why behind how I feel other than to say, in a very vague way, it must be the ECD.
So I was feeling down when I cam into work today and this is what I saw when I walked up to my classroom.
Yesterday I wrote that I wasn't going to be decorating my door (Less Is More?) because I just didn't have it in me to do the extra work and who do I find but Ms. Wang, Ms. Ungar, Ms. Ciarniello, Ms. Bender, Ms. Cuomo (please forgive me if I left anyone else out) all decorating my door. It lights up and looks like a snow globe (it is so beautiful it almost made me cry)! I was literally speechless and if you know me you know that I am rarely without something to say. They even included each of my advisory students names to personalize it.
What can I say...when we are weak we create opportunities for others to show their love, care, and concern for us. When I share my burden with you, with the world, I create the opportunity for others to let their best self shine. I know this and yet I am constantly surprised by how amazing the people around me are. It is humbling to be taken care of by others but I want to be genuine with those around me so I am learning how to be accepting and gracious.
This group of people I work with (teachers and administration) are amazing. I never would have know just how amazing if I hadn't taken the risk of sharing my life with them.
Thank You All, and may you have a very Merry Christmas.
