It’s a fact of life that sometimes, things don’t go as planned. On those days, it can be hard to stay positive and keep going. But, it’s important to remember that even when things don’t go the way we want, there can still be a silver lining.
Take yesterday, for instance. It started off as a normal day, but then it quickly went south. I got a call from my daughter's school asking me to come and get her because she wasn't feeling well, while I was there with her and assessing the situation I got a message from my son saying that he wasn't feeling well and wanted to go home. I was juggling between trying to make the best decision for them, not exaggerating, going to the hospital and doctors, and at the same time trying to make it to my classes. In the afternoon after getting everyone taken care of, I get to one of my classes and the Zoom meeting had disappeared from my schedule. I couldn't find it but after stressing over it I remembered I had sent someone the link for it. When I was finally able to get in, I was getting ready to open the app with all the presentations for the lesson and there was a glitch that wouldn't work!!! Aaaahhhh, I really wanted to run.
But then something amazing happened. In the middle of all this chaos, I felt I had a great lesson with my students. They were extra engaged and had a great time. They were really showing me how much their confidence had grown just in a month of lessons and how much they wanted to learn and participate. It was a great feeling!
It’s a great reminder that even when things don’t go as planned, there can still be a positive outcome. It’s important to stay positive and keep going, even when things seem tough. You never know what kind of surprises might be waiting around the corner.
Let's keep going...
