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
