Days like this
remind me that it is not good to stress.
There are far better things
than checking everything
off your 'to do' list.
Today, I heard my students
speak French
for the first time.
Bon jour sounded like banjo.
It was amazing.
Tonight, I sat in bed
with my mom
watching HGTV.
We drank
tea
and downloaded apps
to our phones.
Right now, I am writing
on my blog
When I should
be lesson planning.
Oh well. I'm
content.
This is such a lovely poem filled with so many teacherly concerns and yet a sense that there is more to life than lesson plans. Your time with your mom and your awareness of the need for balance in life are strengths that will carry you far in life - I promise!
