Happy Canada Day

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I hope to make everyday count. It was a very long year last year, filled with stress. Yesterday was a happy day with my students as we said goodbye. Next year I will be working in a different school, teaching grade three. It should be less stressful for a number of reasons which I won't go into. But there will be different challenges. I want to make it a great year that I can be proud of and make a difference in the lives of the children that I will be teaching. If I am not happy and feel overly stressed next year, I've decided it's time to make a career change. Life is too short not to enjoy it.

I hope you feel better now and enjoy the long warm summer and relax. I should say don't think about work, it's time for fun and pleasure with your family, don't you think so? :-)
Have a nice day Penny.

Thanks for your comment at my dads blog.

Hi Penny, Sorry to be so inconsiderate and not at least comment or blog occaisionally for so long. Alls well, slow computer and summer stuff and family visiting filling my time. Will try to post a bit more often.

Hope you are enjoying your summer.
Hugs, Faye
