Hello. Glad you found me! I'm...
...Just a girl, still becoming, and living every day inspired by the children I have the privilege to teach, the people I teach with, my amazing family and friends, and quotes.
I love quotes.
I also love counting my blessings, which is what my blog has become about. Recently I decided not to let each day seem as the last or the next, and the only way I know to do that is to find the unique joy in each moment. That means counting my blessings, big and small.
Back to the quotes... A few quotes that resonate with my spirit:
Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.
Hope is a state of mind, not of the world... It is an orientation of the spirit, and orientation of the heart; it transcends the world that is immediately experienced, and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons ...Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed... Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.
One day, all children in this nation will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education.
When each day is the same as the next, it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives each day the sun rises.
What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you love. That's what matters. That's the only thing that counts.
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
Children may be about 20% of the population, but they are 100% of the future.
Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way.
At any given point, the best place to be is right where you are.
Dying for something is easy because it is associated with glory. Living for something is the hard thing. Living for something extends beyond fashion, glory, or recognition. We live for what we believe.
That's me... in a quotable nutshell.
Try counting your blessings... it's worth it. ♥
