“Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.” from “Winnie-The-Pooh” by A. A. Milne
Girasoli, I remember days when I'd be teaching and things would get so difficult, not so much because the students were misbehaving but because the lesson just wasn't being understood. I sometimes felt like I was banging my head against a wall. It forced me to tell myself, "Try another way." That was the hard part but it does force once to change the way they do something and rewarding when you see a new path.
I believe in love and kindness, family first, deep meaningful friendships, counting one's blessings and giving to others what you yourself need. I strive to see life as a glass half full. I am very grateful for the life I have and all the wonderful people that make this grand adventure so worthwhile.

Very clever -- I really love Pooh.
Thanks for this, Barb.
I also love Pooh! I sometimes feel like that at work, that there must be another way.
