Planner

I bought a planner yesterday. It’s clean, blank, and has no entries in it. It has room for all possibilities the upcoming year holds. It’s beautiful and full of hope. It is not the blank page of writing, but something much less stressful.

One of the things I like most about myself is that I am usually able to live my life like this planner. Yesterday may have been the worst day I could have had, but I wake up in the morning to a fresh start. Yesterday is finished, and I can’t change what happened. Today is a new day. It was the same with my special education students. There could have been a huge fight the previous day. They could have flunked their test. None of that mattered. The day was full of potential, of possibility, of positivity.

It would be awesome if I could face my writing the same way!
