Without going into a lot of details I was just reflecting on the fact that I truly enjoy what I do at work. I believe that once you've found what you enjoy doing and work hard to do your job well, that good things happen. It also helps that I have a kick ass boss and boss' boss. :) So, we'll see where things go, but for now I'm so thankful to be doing what I'm doing and the people I work with and for.
Because I'd hate to leave you in too much suspense as to what was disappointing about my day, it has to do with the class I'm teaching. Teaching has its challenges and for the most part, I've approached them as learning experiences. I think the hardest thing that I've been working on is receiving critical feedback. For what ever reason this is extremely hard for me because I feel like I put A LOT of time and effort into my work and its hard not to take it personally or be discouraged when that effort is met with resistance or defiance.
With that being said (and to stick to my promise to focus on the positive) I'm very thankful that I have the opportunity to teach. Not only is it an avenue for me to improve and work on my leadership skills, its been spiritually rewarding. I learn something new from my students every time I step into the classroom and get a high when each class ends.
So tonight, as I get ready for bed, I'm thankful that I can look back and reflect on my glass as being half full and look forward to tomorrow that it is a new day filled with new opportunities!
