If we are doing that to our teachers, what are we doing to the students??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801153457160483490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982623767287726798.post-74494799962195263262014-06-22T08:24:14.883-05:002014-06-22T08:24:14.883-05:00Sometimes we need a reminder- I know I do!

I've had little talks with myself recently about this very thing...and trying to BE in the moment with stuff instead of looking ahead and trying to scratch things off my list just to do so. Thanks for this lovely reminder.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160990849698275621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982623767287726798.post-60046363275395222072014-06-21T09:49:55.438-05:002014-06-21T09:49:55.438-05:00MMS's was a great post.

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to discover you but for sure you've gained a new follower.<br /><br />I too read that post and like you and so many others it hit home. There are so many lessons to be learned in life it seems...treat people like it's the last time you might see them...live in the moment...appreciate the little things. Essentially, stop and smell the roses. <br /><br />It's something that's not so easy to do I'm afraid. Sometimes people annoy us! lol Sometimes we just want that kitchen to be finished! Sometimes we just are tired of the humdrum and look forward to that vacation in Maui ;). But knowledge is power, and experiencing life and the precious gift that it truly is can be vey liberating. Congratulations to you for doing just that! <br /><br />Now I'm off to look a bit more on your blog then I'll be hopefully crossing off a thing or two on that long list of mine. :)Doreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.com
