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

What's your stand on countdowns?

Countdowns - These usually fall to one extreme or the other: Love 'em or Hate 'em...depending on the event for which the countdown exists.

Case in point:

Countdown for wedding of 2 of my ACE housemates = 6 days (extremely excited)
Countdown for parent/teacher conferences = 12 days (not excited)
Countdown for arrival of parents for Thanksgiving = 16 days (very excited)

You get the idea.


Take some time to think about your countdowns right now - are you loving them more than hating them? If not, how can you change that so you're counting down to celebrations & events rather than dreaded deadlines?
