Being that I haven't felt like myself for a long time, and feeling like I wasn't being the best I could be, I have decided on a new motto, and a new outlook on life.

BE HAPPY!

Sounds so easy, but is so difficult. It is so easy to be negative and to see the worst in a situation and start to feel down. I have really been working on being happy and not sinking into the negative parts of my day. I am trying to see the successes of my students, and not just notice the behaviors that annoy the junk out of me.

And its working. I was so much more relaxed and calm after the last two days of school. I can't wait to see how I feel about this school year, if my goal is to be happy!!!!
