- I new today was going to be 'something.'
- I wanted to at least be physically comforted.
I constantly reminded myself that someone loved me enough or cared enough about me to sit and knit for me this beautiful shaw/drape/scarf contraption (those were the different names I got at school)...in my favorite color, too!
What a difference a year makes, I have experience in 'enduring' this time of the school year.
I remember vividly my first breakdown as a teacher. I made it to the end of January (yeah). And, then I erupted. Thankfully, Ellen answered her phone as I sobbed.
So, this year I will bring my own comfort. Each day during this time. Yesterday, it was the knowledge that I'd savor Oprah's Australia trip. Today was wrapping myself in love. Tomorrow is packing my suitcase for T & D and wearing a necklace that one of my YL girls gave me for Christmas.
Moral of the Story: It wasn't that I got wear green to school today, it was that I was affirmed in someone's love during hardship days that lead to peace.
