Life has been showing me many cards lately.
The good.
The bad.
You know the rest.
As much as work can be both stressful and rewarding, I have some incredible colleagues who help keep the stressful parts--lighter.
It's funny the things you hear outside of a classroom.
I was minding my business at my desk when I heard, "Maybe Betsy needs an embrace."
I raised my head to see Carrie with Theresa outside my door, stifling a silly laugh. These are my "heart hand" friends. Anytime we begin to feel that, is this really happening, feeling that you get in school when you are an adult surrounded by teenagers, we just throw up our hands in the shape of a heart, and it makes it okay.
Carrie came in and told me the crazy story about hugging that was occurring in a classroom down the hall. So naturally, we hugged, laughed, and laughed more because it was a Monday, and why not?
