So this is blogging!
Today is new adventure into the world of blogging and I hope that you will join me here in sharing or ranting or crying or hoping or trying or learning. As I have stated often, I deeply believe that I learn much more from my students than they ever learn from me. Even though it is the middle of the semester, actually 2/3 of the way through, I'm finding that those survivors who continue to keep up the struggle to learn and to stick with the game plan for the rest of the semester will find great joy and sense of accomplishment in the end. And, somewhere down the road, you will find that your efforts have been worth the struggle.
Struggle you do. Family problems with mothers and fathers, children and husbands, health and money, job and education. It is rewarding to see you overcome your challenges, push through those obstacles, and persevere in reaching for your educational and career goals. I am humbled by your often herculean efforts.
Hang in there everyone (and I'm saying this to myself, as well). Our efforts will be rewarded in many ways. Be grateful for these struggles. In order to make gold, we must fire the ore.

Amen amen!!!
Please teach me how to do this.
The only problem is reading the wretched word--decode is the best word to describe it. I HATE those.

I believe that as we dedicate ourselves to overturning the stones in our garden, that one stone at a time we gain strength and vibrance to tackle the opposition that life brings. We can accomplish much, but the greatest accomplishment of all is sustaining our sense of humor through the storm.
Atleast that's what my dad always said.

Hey Jan! Thanks for the well wishes
Our discussion on forgiveness really helped. I am terrible at holding grudges! Forgivness Web is awsome!
