I often think I have the best job in the world. Despite my complete lack of artistic ability, my drawings are cheered and appreciated by my class. Despite my utterly ordinary voice, my students listen to my songs and chants as if I were an American Idol. On those mornings when I wish I could have had another hour of sleep and another cup of coffee before facing the world, their good morning greetings and absolute joy in being alive is contagious. All I have to do is show up and pay attention.
I recently read this blog entry and thought you might enjoy the perspective!
