Keep on Moving

Well, yesterday was supposed to be a blogging day..... nope. I didn't blog. I didn't write one word. At first I was upset at myself. Darn it, I messed up. Darn it, I have already not been successful. But then I decided that I should not look at it as a failure, but more as a stumble. We all stumble at times. We all "fail". But if I am living by what I am teaching my students, "You have only failed if you have given up, until then it's learning." So, I put on a different pair of "glasses" and pulled out my computer this afternoon to start blogging for today. I realized that there is no one watching me. This is a personal challenge and I am going to have some failures. I would not be human if I didn't. The important thing is to "keep on moving". I will continue on. Continue to blog each day. A lesson I will be able to provide my students and my own children.

This coming week will be a tough one for me. I have 2 different meetings that will take me away from my students 3 of the 5 days. I hate being away from them. I enjoy so much the interactions we have when we are learning together in the class. But it is a week. It is just another 5 days, so I will continue to think about providing my students the best of me each day I am there. I will leave the best lessons I can for my sub and know that I chose good subs to be with my class. They will do the best they can for my students. I will live by the motto "keep on moving". Keep making progress and keep putting one step in front of another. And now I will go out and tackle another goal ... "7 5K runs in 2017". Need to go practice for the first of 7. Keep on moving.......
