So I have begun substitute teaching for the school district. Today was my first day and I was lucky to get to be a side kick for a senior sub. The senior sub had a large pendant of a lion on her chest and the very same energy. She told the kids what the expectations were and did not get to involved above that. I so admired her ability to not become so involved thus maintaining her own energy. She was a true role model for natural consequences. I have always been the one hovering above the kids, asking questions, trying to motivate and inspire and quite frankly, I am pooped.
Maybe there is something to be learned from the sleek and powerful lion, says the hare, after loosing his race to the tortoise.
Stopped by today and caught up on your latest posts. You sound like you are doing well---kitten under control. some work, a lot of enjoyment, and using your creativity. Good to hear. Take care and enjoy Tucson---I think I will miss you. Roxanne
ReplyDeleteGood to see you have been around. It is a bummer I am going to miss you in Tucson. I am not sure a kitten is ever under control (should have got a dog). I have had a great grief therapist, and that is helping. Also I did a Mandala workshop that was the main healing moment for me. Thank you for your encouragement to be proactive.
