I love being able to share my experience...
 

Whether you are continuing with the same children or getting new ones, September always seems to feel like a new beginning. This month’s issue will use a “getting acquainted” theme to help you meet or reintroduce yourself to your class of children. 
 

August has been a crazy month of unexpected events for me – mostly things involving friends, family and emergencies; nothing serious, but many things that required or demanded a lot of my time. I found that I had to put off things that I normally would have considered to be important in order to handle these demands for my attention.
 

Interestingly, things worked out.  Yes, I missed a church or school meeting or had to rearrange doctor’s appointments and lunch dates, but I did realize that others can function without me! It is a reassuring and comforting thought when we are pulled in other directions.

Even this newsletter is going to be a few days late, but it will arrive! I think it is important to realize that you play an important role in life – especially to those close to you. Sometimes we put work, church or community in front of all of that thinking that they are so important, but those will continue with or without you, but your friends and family may not be able to move forward as smoothly if you are not available.

So, work hard if you like, but when your close friends or family need you, stop and think, “If I was sick or hurt, would my work keep going?” The answer will always be “YES!” So let it go on ~ and take care of those that really need you.  They will be grateful to you and for your presence in their lives and you will feel blessed to have made a difference!
