Back to School, Back to Work, Back to Fun . . .


Today is the First Day back to school for Teachers and support staff. I am sitting in my office back early from lunch ready for our first meeting as a High School staff. I am so glad to be back to school. I really enjoy my work. The other day while working at Busch's, I was talking with the folks in my line about the value of enjoying the work you do. I do not know how it all plays out in the real world for others, but I will spend the greatest part of my life sleeping, the the second greatest bulk of my time working, then it reduces from there. If you do not love, or at least enjoy your job, what is the sense. I am not saying love every single aspect of the work, but for Pete's sake take more than just a pay check away from the experience. So what about you? What do you love, or do you think you will love doing?

O, let me tell you, I did not go into what I enjoy about my job. I work with students at a High School. I am a compassionate lover of people and I especially love to help people learn and grow and become better people. I love to walk with the hope that often resides within the youth. I see the potential energy that is bound up within their souls. It gives me life to engage them in thoughts and dreams. I am built for this type of work. I love the kids that are struggling all the way to the kids that have a clue just what is going on. I am so blessed.

I look forward to seeing you all back at school. I hope to blog more this year than I did in the summer. Peace

School . . .


I am back at School. I can not believe that I did not blog more this summer. It thought I would have spent some time sharing my thoughts. Well, School will begin in a few days. I am so excited. I will be the parent of a High School student for the first time this year. I do not think I am old enough for this, but here we are. I look forward to blogging this year. What are your plans for this school year? Peace

There is no thing like home . . .


I had a great time with my brother, his son and my boys. We saw a lot of the south and much of the Tennessee river. We had some great southern Bar-B-Q. Drank some real southern sweetea. It was wonderful being in the south again. It is nice to be home and I will share more with you soon. Peace
