I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Almost time to celebrate...

At school until nearly 6 tonight - not really my cup of tea. However, most of the time after school was spent reading that students' poetry portfolios, so it was actually pretty entertaining.

Some did fall short of hopes and expectations, but others certainly rose to the occasion.

There's lots to be said for leaving plenty of room for creativity and student choice (with guidelines, of course).

Oh poetry, how I will miss you when we say goodbye to you on Thursday. (But, I admit, I am very much looking forward to our 2nd annual Chocolate House event - that's sure to be deeelicious!)

Gotta love celebrations...
