First day with the kids today and I have to say how grateful I am right now to not only love being a teacher, but for the absolute calmness, peace, and serenity I felt throughout the day. I can't remember feeling like this ever in my life, first, last, 120th day of school. It was a feeling of being right where I want to be. One of my team members asked me how I was so calm. Yes, usually I'm the one that's nutty, but I told her I took some deep breaths before jumping in today. We have another great class of kids this year. Another grateful thing. They're really chatty, but chatty and disrespectful are soooooooooo two entirely different worlds.
A few updates on me. I've decreased my anti-depressants. I've been on AD's for as long as I can remember--almost, with some breaks a long time ago. Not only that, but I'm off my heart medication that was not for high blood pressure, but for my anxiety. Feeling really good about that.
