In honor of my very long, very tiring day I decided to leave you with a wonderful poem by Jean Little from Hey World, Here I Am! :
Today
Today I will not live up to my potential.
Today I will not relate well to my peer group.
Today I will not contribute in class.
I will not volunteer one thing.
Today I will not strive to do better.
Today I will not achieve or adjust or grow enriched or get involved.
I will not put up my hand even if the teacher is wrong and I can prove it.
Today I might eat the eraser off my pencil.
I’ll look at clouds.
I’ll be late,
I don’t think I’ll wash.
I need a rest.
with thanks to my wonderful friend Jessica who introduced me to Jean Little, who is absolutely magnificent.
This is absolutely wonderful and just what I needed to carry with me throughout a day that I know is going to be tough. Thank you.
