A Memory, a Smile

Two of my students were talking today about their favorite breakfast - sugar on toast. So I shared the story about how when I was in 6th or 7th grade I was spending the night with a friend. We stayed up really late, of course, and snuck into the kitchen to get the ingredients for sugar sandwiches - white bread, butter and sugar! I can't imagine eating one today.

Today's positive thoughts are:
-there was no throwing up in the house today
-I reconnected with a friend via Facebook
It was a good day and now it is time to go to bed. I think I will stop and get a Starbuck's tomorrow on the way to school.

My positive thoughts for the day.

I've been so stressed and down. I have a student who is the most challenging I have ever had and I lack the training to deal with him. But he is not going anywhere, so I am only going to think positive thoughts. I will not let it ruin every minute of my day.

So my positive thoughts today were:
-the telephone is wonderful when you get to talk to your long distance family that you miss. I did that yesterday.
-I have the ability to remain calm in my classroom even when things are not calm around me.
-I have students who get such joy out of little things (like typing a word wrong on purpose to watch Word fix it automatically). So I need to emulate them.
-My treadmill arrived today, so I hope to walk away my stress.

I CAN do this every day.
