Euphoria

I can't even explain what an amazing change this new job has had on my life. It's not even that the job itself made that significant of an impact (although it's great), but I think the tough decision of cutting back on the job I hate to pursue my true passion in depth has made all the difference in my stress levels. I know it's only the beginning of the semester, but each day as I sit in class, learning about strategies for struggling readers, ideas for gifted students, integrating arts into the curriculum, it's like my brain goes crazy. I feel a little euphoric walking through the halls of the elementary with things to do that will enhance the students' learning. I am a more patient mother, more focused, I have more energy, and I'm just, well, happier! (I'm sure come March I'll be exhausted again) But for now, I'm gonna indulge myself !
