The beginning is always the hardest. I have to remember that.
A new skill...
A new book with new characters...
A new running goal & related training (e.g. 5K, marathon, half marathon, etc.)...
A new school year...
It's difficult to know quite where to start, especially in starting to develop unit plans for my middle school religion classes. I am SO excited for this school year, don't get me wrong, but I'm still only starting to wrap my head around so many things, including the content material.
But I have to keep perspective. The beginning is always the hardest, this is true. But what is also true is this: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." (Lao Tzu)
It's time to hold on tight - this rollercoaster ride is about to kick into full gear.
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
