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

Patience...(BREATHE)...Patience

"Ms. Foyle, I'm going to dedicate this poetry portfolio to you for always having patience with me...except for right now...so now I CAN'T dedicate it to you. (Sigh)"

Ok, so maybe it was a bit dramatic, but I was actually quite impressed with the idea that she noticed my patience, which I have been working on extra hard of late. I've been trying to stay calm, keep my voice down, and still make sure we all still get where we need to be.

And it hasn't been easy.

There have been times I've wanted to BURST!

But, for the most part, I've kept my cool. And she noticed that. And I think it's made a difference. And for that I am grateful.

And that patience is something I will keep striving for in the weeks to come, especially as we approach the holidays. 

(Lord help us all...)
