I was struck today about how close you can be to a place, yet so far. At one of the schools where I teach, I can literally see the acupuncture place that I go to from the window of my classroom. How can utter peace and relaxation be just a stone's throw away from a place that is so....not? By just going a block down the road, you can be in a totally new world. Crazy, if you think about it.
Also, I was thinking today that I really love teaching kids. Sure, I could probably make more money doing something else, but I really get to see the good in what I do. My students can make me laugh, can make me furious, or sometimes can make me very proud and happy. With kids, you never know what the day might bring. You might get thrown up on, get yelled at, cried on for no apparent reason, or sometimes they might floor you by doing something fantastic that you never saw them do before. Things can turn in an instant. This makes me feel alive.

ReplyDeleteHello, my name is RITA CARMEN and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 12 years. i have been looking for ways online for so long, I first did Depo Provera Shot which i consecutively took every three months in order to get pregnant or fertile, but there was no way from it. I did Depo shot for 3 years constantly until my Doctors in Australia told me to try IVF because I had Endometriosis stage 4 and I resulted to try IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). For months after my IVF no progressed and my situation became worse that my husband had already had plans or getting married to another woman because I was barren. I read a testimony about Prophet Abulele how he had helped so many women with pregnancy problems and also how he usually casts return spells to bring back partner and make one fertile. Of all options tried, I gave Prophet Abulele a try. I am now a mother of a baby boy. For over 13 years of my marriage I received my help from this spell caster. I want to impact on someone's life and make the person get help from a good spell caster. Prophet Abulele's email is:- prophetabulelehealingtemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp is +2349022406159 once you contact him, he will help you fast.
