I am trying acupuncture on my headaches. Hopefully I will see some improvements. It’s been a bad week for a lot of reasons. This was on the wall and I loved it.

WE MUST BE WILLING TO LET GO OF THE LIFE WE HAVE PLANNED, SO AS TO HAVE THE LIFE THAT IS WAITING FOR US.

I loved this. I grew up on a dairy farm in Port Wahington Wisconsin. I thought I would always be a on a farm with cows, pigs, horses and land. Instead I spent 30 years of my life teaching inner city children from low socioeconomic, high poverty families. Then my schools population changed and while I still had many African American students, I learned about newcomers. Children from war, poverty, camps……many survivors that were new to the USA. I was privileged to learn about many cultures, many countries and many different ways of life. Some of it Hmong but Congo, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Chinese, Sudan, Russia, Iran, and Lebanon just to name some of them. Each child and family added something special to my life, not just as a teacher but as a person.

So, No we don’t always go to what we have planned but we must grab on and enjoy and learn from the life we do live.
