I have been thinking about doing the November challenge...you know the one. The one where you post something that you are thankful for daily on your blog. I like the idea of it but I am afraid the follow through on my part will be lacking. Now that you have extremely low expectations, I just might be able to exceed them!
Today I am thankful for sick days.
I have a head cold. When I was teaching last year, I never took a sick day until my intern facilitator forced me to leave school and found a sub for me for the following day. I hated missing school because I wasn't quite sure what I was doing yet. This year is a little different. I feel more comfortable and established in my classroom. My students know exactly what I expect of them and I know the other amazing fifth grade teachers would be able to take care of anything that comes up while I am gone. It was a lovely sick day of staying in bed, watching pointless t.v., and taking a fantastically long hot shower.
I have been considering yoga recently. I have never done it before but love everything that I read about it. Have you done it before? What did you think? Have you been to a studio that you really liked?
I actually JUST got into Yoga! I recommend it for sure! It really helps me think of my breathing and trying to relax while my body is under physical pressure. Its awesome!
