Small Acts to Make a Difference
This past week has been a stressful one for me because, as the school year winds down, I have many big responsibilities and deadlines. However, I've learned that it always makes me feel better to do something kinds for others.
On May Day, I sent flowers (anonymously) to two elderly ladies from my church. I also made good luck notes saying Good Luck at State and Score Big and attached a 100 Grand candy bar. The team placed second in the state competition, and as Morrie Swartz in Tuesdays with Morrie would say, "What's wrong with second?". I gave a Smile Card to an employee at Sam's because she was being so helpful to a customer and acted as if she actually enjoyed her job.
Although these acts weren't major happenings, I hope that they made a difference. I thank all of you who have helped to keep me inspired.

Finding the Time to be Kind
It's the end of school, and, oh my, what a hectic time as I have many big responsibilites in our small school. This week, though, I tried to find time to do something kind. I sent flowers to two of my fellow teachers as a way of saying "thank you" for their help with several activities. I also purchased a meat and cheese tray for our lunch group to honor a short-term substitue who was coming back just to have lunch with us.
