A friend of mine said to me "Happy New Start" instead of the traditional Happy New Year. It gave me pause. When I think about it, we get to have Happy New Starts every time we choose to. Every moment is a chance to start again, whether it's how you are thinking or something you would rather be doing, each day, hour, minute is a chance to begin again, the way you would want it to be. Or not, if that's your choice.
This week the students came back to school. They were excited and anxious to be back in their routines. They were ready for their Happy New Start. Sometime teachers do not seem quite as ready for a new beginning. Ruminating over how we are going to have to deal with this student or what to do about that parent, etc. Everyday we get to choose how we will react and how we will take on challenges. I forget that often. I forget that I have that choice and can get bogged down in what was or what may be instead of what is, right this minute.
I hope you are able to have a Happy New Start this year.
