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

A Poem A Day...

Audio Version of Today's Poem

No foolin' - April is National Poetry Month.

Woo hoo!

As we're in crazy...and isolated...times, it's the perfect opportunity to enjoy this month in a special way - writing a poem every day.

I don't promise perfect poetry, but I can promise you variety - both in content and in style. Maybe you'll decide to play along with me?

To kick us off (and I hope I'm not setting the bar too high with a song parody), I bring you the lyrics I rewrote to "You'll Be Back" -->

You say e-learning is hard 
when you're stuck with your siblings all day
You cry -you can't see your friends 
or your teachers, it's really a crime
Don't be sad
We don't know how long you'll be at home and staying away
Find ways to be glad
Remember despite social distancing, we're your fam

We'll be back
with a smile
Though it truly may be quite awhile
We'll be back
Time will tell
Make sure you do your assignments well

COVID can't keep us down
Best to wear a smile not a frown
'Cause when push comes to shove
We will send you daily videos to remind you of our love

Da da da...da da da...


So, how will you be celebrating this month...aside from staying at home in your PJs? 😒😬😆
