WIDE MOOD SWINGS!

The truly good thing about a sojourn into the levels of frustration and angst in which I found myself 3 days ago is that the only way you can go from there is up.

A couple of days later, a self administered kick-in-the-ass, and some honest soul searching, has brought me to this realization about why I do the job I do, teaching special needs kids.

It’s the little things…

the sleepy smiles and

“good morning teacher”

to start the day.

sticky hugs

and little warm hands in mine

at recess.

the ‘aha!’ moments

and the light that shines in their eyes

when they ‘get it’.

pretty pictures they draw

just for me.

laughter shared

tears wiped away

and the faith

that maybe, just maybe

I made a difference today.
