Grace

I was on a call today and a word I kept hearing repeated was “grace”.  ( I think I uttered it a time or two myself). Have grace with yourself, your kids, our educators.  And it got me to thinking... 

A few months ago my office shut down and I had to figure out my new work situation.  Where was I going to sit, how was I going to balance work and kids, what about my equipment, and so on and so forth .  And over the past few months I’ve adapted, acquired what I need, accepted ideas from others to make me more comfortable and generally just figured things out.  The luxury of time and privacy have been mine. And as our educators step in to the school year they’re doing the same thing.  Trying to figure out what works, how to adapt but with the scrutiny of kids, parents and peers.  I got to hide in my house in sweats and some days I still ended up in tears. 

So teachers, I see you , I trust you and I support you as you try to figure this out with the public eye examining every move you make. And like everything else you do, you’ll do this so well I’ll say to myself “what the hell have I been doing the last 6 months?”
