This blog is all about how we are learning to be married, home-keepers, teachers, cooks, and grown ups. I think one of the hardest things about being an adult is being responsible and thoughtful without letting the burden of being responsible and thoughtful weigh you down. And let's face it--no matter what kind of job you have, sometimes (or maybe most of the time) work just feels like work! Who knew? One of the ways I combat my job making me feel like I'm being dragged from a rope tied to a galloping horse is to find some simple thing in it that brings me joy. Lucky for me, I work with kids. And anytime you need to find joy in working with kids, just take a moment to interview a couple of them. The 30 seconds it will take provides some of the most genuine laughter!
I asked my class to complete the following phrases:
Never look a gift horse....
