Encouraging Snippets Sprinkled Throughout a Wednesday

Hugs of small children.

Small pockets of successful plans and teaching.

Words of my coworkers, stories of their first years of teaching.

An antiseptic that didn't sting the little one's scrape.

Teamwork.

Making it through the first full day.

Instinct. A few shed tears. A well-timed hug.

Phone call to share in a friend's triumph and joy.

Laughter.

Songs to revisit countless times.

Realization that a visit home is a month away. That the wedding of my beautiful cousin is a month away.

~"Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory." [-Alan Alda]~
