I've been reading three books that are so different yet, they connect: The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joesph Murphy, Why Not You? Twenty-eight days to Authentic Confidence by Valorie Burton, and Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. AND, this weekend, I snuck in reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho in order to prepare for the discussion that I am having with my students this week. Reading these three books, at the same time, and sneaking in another one makes me feel sooooo productive and excited. You should see me each night reading one chapter from each book and doing that over and over... I think that I must look like a mad scientist.

I've been thinking about the idea that I love my job with all of its ups and downs. Earlier this week, I was totally frustrated with quite a few of my students who just don't seem to get that they can change their behavior: do homework, study, plan, read at home, be organized! On the other hand, I have students who do their homework, study, come to school prepared, and I can take those students to the moon and back. I wonder if the differences in the students have to do with parenting???

I've been thinking about my uncle who is turning 80 this weekend....I can't wait to get to Alabama to be present in every moment that is meant to celebrate him. You know sometimes it's another person's moment, and we get caught up in "Why is there no dancing at this party?' and "What food will they have?" Wrong things to focus on when the moment ain't my moment but the other person's moment. I will focus on the right things this weekend.......
Over here....
It's my sorority's 102nd anniversary, and it seems like we just turned 100...I guess I better stay busy, because time waits for no one!
Happy Tuesday, and what's going on over there!!!!!
