Never give up; you never know until you try.
A brand new semester in GED Land started this week, and my teaching partner and I have managed to get through it. The thing that helped me the most, and I think my partner too, is that one of our fellow teachers, with much more experience, paid us a visit and reviewed procedures with us and agreed to check our paperwork for accuracy. "J" is good like that--she's always willing to help.
Much to our relief, "G" and I had done very well. I thought we were on the right track, but just getting that affirmation made me feel much better. I thanked "J" profusely.
Challenge time, everyone: who do you know who would benefit from a few words of affirmation? If the answer is you, ask someone for input on how you are doing!
This is to encourage people to dare to dream, because you never know until you try; to face adversity, which we all face in one form or another, and keep on keepin' on; to do what they can and allow God to do what they can't.
The Serenity Prayer
This prayer, often repeated, is an originally untitled prayer by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It makes great sense to me, and whether you believe in God or not, I think it's a smart idea.
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference
