The school year is ending this week. It has been an interesting year.... one of the toughest ever in my career. I applaud all educators who have persevered during these last 15 months. Bravo! We made it. We made it through many different types of teaching, we made it through being considered heroes to then being considered lazy and uncaring. The negatives were from frustration I know, but it was hard for all of us. Now we rest. or Now we rest? Teachers hardly ever rest. I know I will begin teaching summer school on July 6th and I have a lot to get done to be ready to do that. I have also scheduled all of my professional development hours in July, so I am hoping to be able to take August off. We'll see though, like I said....teachers hardly ever rest.
Here are my joys for the week:
1. It was mine and Mark's 31st wedding anniversary on Tuesday. I love him more today than yesterday.
2. We were able to go out to dinner on Saturday night to The Old Orchard Inn to celebrate. The food was delicious, and it was quiet enough so Mark was good.
3. Today is Father's Day. My dad is the best! I will see him today for dinner, but we spent the last two days getting some family ancestry things in order.
4. I was able to play in church again this morning. I provided special music. It feels so good to be able to contribute again.
5. Nate is back in rehearsals for Shakespeare. It makes him so happy... and me too!
Have a great week and #findyourjoy
