Words of Wisdom
Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.
~ John Quincy Adams
With something to think about . . .Perseverance is no walk in the park. It can be exhausting and painful. Trying again and again with patience and grace is not for the weak. We don't always have a choice in how things will unfold. Sometimes we don't get what we want when we want it. But the lesson is in our reaction, in starting over and over and not giving up. The magic comes when our determination pays off, that breakthrough when the difficulties and obstacles subside. The result is always sweeter for having persevered through the storm. It is made even sweeter when our students learn from our example.
Remember to take care of yourself.
Don't get down on yourself if you didn't get what you wanted. Shake it off and start again! You can do it!
Happy Birthday!
