January 5

Well, today's job proved to be quite challenging.  I was giggling to the office worker that my New Year's Resolution is to find the positive in each day, and have it be filled with gratitude.  This is kind of hard to do when you have students in the office facing potential suspension.  It's enough of a challenge to have 1 or 2 difficult students in a classroom...but 7?  They just feed off of each other.  Crazy.  The good news is, it was my first difficult class of the 2011/2012 school year.  Anyhow, at the day's end, I did manage to find something to be grateful for!  The Gym!  Yep, it was off to Planet Fitness to work off a day's worth of frustrations.  It worked like a charm.  An hour and 20 minutes later, I was filled with the same joy I was feeling last night.  It's amazing what some Mannheim Steamroller Christmas music can do to lift one's spirit.

So, what am I thankful for?  Options to pull a person out of a funk so joy can return to their soul.
