This week I felt like I ran out of time. I rushed from one parent-teacher conference to the next. I felt there was more I wanted to say to those parents...
yet I ran out of time to say more.
I attended meetings, I listened and friends' listened to me...
yet I ran out of time for others.
I visited a school and had three powerful conversations...
yet I ran out of time to visit other schools.
I felt I disappointed someone because I can't be in more schools
during the week...
Yes, I ran out of days and time.
These feelings felt heavy in my heart by the time Friday came I was exhausted. Why am I fighting time? Why does it feel I'm going against it? And how did it manage to make me feel like I didn't do enough?
Breath.
Perspective.
Time: you're a gift. Sorry I felt I was running against you when in fact we are running in parallel ways.

Time is always an issue, but you did use it wisely. That is a celebration.
Stella - I LOVE this perspective. It is so difficult, but we need to focus on what we are doing that is a celebration, as opposed to what we aren't. Such a tough mindset to change. Happy that you were able to do so!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and post some pictures of you dressed up in your tutu! :)
I love seeing how you changed your own thinking. And it made all the difference in the world, didn't it?
Good to remember -- we (I) choose (CHOOSE) the way we see the world.
Ooooh.....this is powerful! It's all about perspective and positive thinking. Well done! It reminds me of advice I heard once to change our thinking to "I have to..." to "I get to..."
Stella, I can always count on you for an insightful perspective! I love this post...have a wonderful week at school this week.
AHH, breathe, appreciate, live in the moment!
