Never mind, I can do it myself. If you know me, you know asking for help is not my cup of tea. https://joycesjargon.org/2020/08/18/accept-the-help/ Sometimes, we need to do it for ourself. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I need to learn it for myself so I can remember how it feels to not know something, figure out how to do it, then get it done. What a feeling of accomplishment! I really thought “how can I do this? it’s so hard!” But guess what? The answer is out there. I promise. In fact, I guarantee it. A counselor I used to speak with called me a problem solver. I liked that label. I felt good inside for him to notice that about me. It lead me to think, yes, I am a problem solver! That’s super cool. That is mostly my teaching philosophy. I try to get my kids, first, to WANT to figure something out, make a plan, then execute the plan. Wow! Just feel it! It’s a great feeling. Feels great inside, and I don’t know about you, but I love it when I feel great inside, I think it’s what makes my heart pump.
I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately. I have had the time. After surgery, I was ordered to “rest” and “heal” by not doing anything! That is impossible! My whole life is doing something! It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Having a baby was easier. Although I struggled through it, it has seriously opened my eyes to things I needed to learn about myself, it was truly the hardest thing ever! But guess what? I am back and I am loving it! Also, closing out the end of the school year always helps me to feel at the top of my game. This year was hard, really hard, but I did it! AND, I’m still in one piece! That’s another blog title.
Have a fabulous night! You deserve it! Thank you so much for reading.
