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

And The Summer Wind...

It's hard to believe there are less than three weeks until my school is filled with students (hopefully ones who are eager to learn). Summer has, for the most part, flown by, and now it's nearly over.

I keep thinking I'm ready to start teaching middle school...and maybe I am. But then the doubt creeps in too. Not the kind of doubt that makes me think I am not capable but rather the doubt that I'm better suited elsewhere - you know, like teaching 10 year-olds...like what I've been doing for the past 5 years. Let's face it, though - if I didn't try another grade level, how would I know if (ultimately) teaching 4th grade is where I am meant to be?

It looks like this year I'll be in pursuit of that answer...


All right, enough about that tonight. In the spirit of Audrey Hepburn (since my family happens to be watching Charade - if you haven't seen it, stop reading this right now and rent it/get it on demand), I give you a collage of pictures/quotes I came across tonight on Pinterest:


Gotta love Audrey Hepburn...
