Today a teacher communicated to me that a parent was complaining I was too green at this job. I come in first, leave latest, and do my best. I have spent a lot of time with her daughter. If you ever have children you will be tempted to insist loudly on the best for them, want to see their needs met at the sacrifice of others, want to bend rules where they are frustrated. Please don't do it.
I explained to another man why I don't text. I needed to hear a real voice today and the texting I will not do.
I could call the men I went out with last week who think it's my turn to contact them. I will not call today.
Needing to move to the positive-- I will spend time outside today and touch the grass, I will hug a friend with my real arms, I will return my book to the library which gives so much and asks so little of me. I will be grateful for the technology that makes this blog possible. I will be glad that the man I didn't text returned my phonecall. I was discussing in a weekend class that not all entertainment leads to joy. I'm trying to get there hour to hour. I'm grateful some of you read even when I'm a pill! Thanks.

My Blog: Made for Joy
we all start green, don't we? at some point in life, everyone is a first year something...and from that we gain experience and do what? grow brown? in the green there is much passion and life! along with your love, what more of a gift could you offer those teenagers when they walk into your warm office?
