A spider spins her web over and over again. She does not ask, "Why should I have to do that again, I did it yesterday?" She sets to the task and works until it is just right and sits back to "reap" the rewards of her labor. We should all take a lesson from this woolly little creature that works so tirelessly.
The summer is passing by as quickly as sand through an hour glass it seems. The days are getting shorter by a few minutes each day. This has to mean that school will be starting and many of us will be back to a "regular" schedule. I am going to welcome that more this year than most. I actually look forward to making my lunch and putting it in a brown paper bag. There really is something reassuring about needing to be somewhere each morning and knowing you are contributing, even in a small way, to the world.
Teaching children has both long term effects and immediate rewards. I get to see that sparkle in the eye of the child that learns for the first time that yellow and yogurt start with the same sound. I also get to think about the fact that the child making a creative design with blocks or puzzle pieces may be an architect one day. And, they actually pay me to do this work. I truly hope that the people reading this blog enjoy your job as much as I do.
Good-night--try to appreciate the small and big things you do for the world everyday.
Take care,
MissT
