Those Days

Hard at work or hardly working?
You ever have those days when your body just doesn't want to move.....your mind is racing with all the things you need to do but your body is saying "no way Hosea, I'm not doing anything?"  Suffice it to say that I had one of those days today.....and they're beginning to get pretty frequent. I think I overwhelm myself.  I'm such a dreamer that I spend most of my time thinking up what I want to do and be but spend only a little time making that dream a reality.  I think that I want too much.  Maybe just simply enjoying each day as it comes is a better alternative and let the divine speak to you to show you what to do daily.

I'll admit this is a difficult task for me as I am a doer.  Nevermind the doing could just be busy work but at least I'm moving.  I'm learning to assess my situations a little more-------relaxing and letting it come to me instead of going through the chase.  Also, I'm learning to ask about what I should be doing and only doing those things that would reflect that.  All this change seems as if I'm a lazy woman and I feel guilty because I'm believing the lie, but I know God just wants to restore my enthusiasm for life while teaching me the importance of time and what is most important and essential daily.  I'm organizing myself from the inside out instead of letting things organize my day.  I'm finding it's a much better way to live.  It cuts down on stress and gets whats most important done without stressing about the rest.

It's still a work in progress because I'm having to deal with my guilt and whether or not I'm doing the right things, but I really want to live this way.....I find it helps me accomplish more.  In fact, when I've gone through my to do list, I realize I actually have done more but not necessarily all in one day.  I'm also putting on my calendar and planner days and times when I will work.  

I think this quote on Oprah's show today sums it up for me.  She was in Australia asking the Aussies about their life in comparison to Americans.  What caught my attention was their comment on working.  One of the Aussies said, "Americans live to work, but they work to live.  I believe I like their way better.

Learning for learning's sake

Teaching has never been an easy job but in this stressful fast paced and hetic society and with the entertainment industry competing for our students attention, motivating students has become even more difficult. In fact, I believe the entertainment industry might be a notch ahead of us. But instead of worrying about what we cannot change, as educators, we need to step up our game. With all of the available technology and teaching knowledge, we should be in the forefront of the education revolution. I do not, however, advocate that we should merely begin to entertain students; that would be absurd. Education and entertainment our two different animals. One should not cancel the other out though. Why can't our students learn and be entertained at the same time? Like any industry, fun should be the icing on the cake--I am not one of those teachers who believes everything at everytime should be fun but I do believe we can make education more palatable especially with the techno

What in the World is the World Coming To?

As a matter of fact! Been thinking about what is happening in the world and wanted to share with you some of my concerns. Why am I being such a "Debbie Downer?" Because I believe that it is important that young people understand what is going on in the world and how they can make changes to it. "Ignorance is not bliss." If they are inheriting this world, they need to start thinking about their part in it and how they can make change to make a better world. Watch the videos below about some of the concerns I have. These are just a few but a good start. "Drinking and Driving Drunk"
