And Change the Things That I Can
It had been a little over three years since David’s wife had left him. After seventeen years of marriage, he was shocked when she had asked for the divorce. Yes, he had known that the marriage was not perfect, but then again, who had a perfect marriage? Certainly not his friends. They were often complaining about their wives, yet they were still together.
My experience is a little different and pales in comparison, but the message is simple. What can I change and not change? This is fundamental. This morning I was vibrating after I read a post by a person who has never taught and is blogging about what we should or should not do in classrooms and schools. Superficially, it all sounds good and, if I did not know him, I would say what a wonderful educator. As I read the Serenity Prayer, I realized I can only change what I can change and it starts with me.
