I got up today feeling a lot better about yesterday's decision. I had an e-mail from one of our trio members waiting for me. They were not happy about my decision and read it on my blog before they got my personal e-mail. I think I need a book on "Blogging Etiquitte". I apologized to my friend, but I felt bad for not thinking of her first. I still know I made the right decision.
Tom and I talked and talked about what my gifts are. I know God has given me the gift of teaching. I get tired, but teaching fills me with joy. I absolutely love my students. If I won a million dollars, I would still do it. I like being a sub. I like my private students and I can't wait to begin my club at the middle school. It is all about being a teacher because that is my gift from God. Performance is fun, once in a while, but that's not what it's all about for me. I feel so very blessed to know my calling. I think so many people walk around in life trying to find what they are supposed to do. I have found it. I love this quote from Jessamyn West:
"Knowledge of what you love somehow comes to you; you don't have to read nor analyze nor study. If you love a thing enough, knowledge of it seeps into you, with particulars more real than any chart can furnish".
On a much lighter note, my feet are better. I bought some arch supports from Wal Mart ($5.00) and my feet are better. I just started wearing the supports Saturday evening, but I performed yesterday (standing for 2-3 hours) and I could still walk this morning with no problem. Carole and I walked this morning and if my foot remains alright, we may start the running again when I get back from seeing "the boys".
I am going to have lunch today with some friends from our old "hood". One of them has moved back from Alabama, but I have not seen all of them for a couple of years. I can't wait to catch up with everybody.
Laura is home sick today and Becca is not up yet. I have a feeling they will both be home today with colds. I guess we are all going to recover in one way or another.
