Had a great positive day.  Homespun Community Dance is doing a dance residency at my school this week.  Of course I struggled through the scheduling of it trying to make about 50 teachers happy when there is less then 1/4 of the school left is not an easy task.   Homespun Community Dance is a very cool group of older gentlemen who play instruments and teach folk dances from around the world.  The cool thing is that they are performing the music with the students as they dance.  The day went off well, except for a few glitches.  Presetting students can be a very important aspect of teaching if you want smoother transitions.  I am a music teacher only seeing my students once a week for forty minutes.  During my time with them I preset them for this event.  I also asked my faculty at our faculty meeting to do the same, with several email reminders.  I do understand how jam packed an educators day is especially in our day of TESTI...

It's been a long while since I have been here.  I truly miss this.  All the baseball games were canceled for the day , thank you Mother Nature best Mothers day gift of all!!!  So I am home, catching up on reading many of my favorite blogs, thank you to all U, there are so many I can't possible list them.  A wonderful mother , great friend and role model just sent me an email with a video clip called The Gift of an Ordinary Day by Katrina Kenison.  WOW is all I have to say, if you have time look it and watch but be sure to have your tissues handy.  I struggle each day to look at it as a gift when my world is filled with obligations, yet today I am home free looking at the positive ,and trying to hold back the tears that just want to flow.  Maybe they are tears of joy for the realization of the wonderful blessings that have been bestowed upon my life?  That is how I am trying to look at them but there is a sense of sadness that I can not escape...
