This is one of those common sense lists we run across. I said to myself, "I knew this." It is one thing to know and another to be these things. It is one of those lists worth sharing, printing, and letting touch me each day.
I have been an educator for almost 20 years. Prior to that, I worked in private industry for 15 years, then returned to university to earn my education degree. For the past 11 years, I have been a co-creator of learning in a unique, progressive, alternative educational school of choice. Currently, I am engaged in a doctoral program at Gonzaga University in Spokane. A main theme in my learning there has been the roles of systems thinking, complexity theory, and organizational theory, and how they apply to education generally and the learning environment I share with students, parents, and colleagues.
IA wonderful post, these thoughts are like nuggets of wisdom, proverbs for living. When I read the book of proverbs in the bible each day as i have done over the years, no matter how many times i read them it is never enough, because it always seems like the first time again, and i find myself always thanking God for the reminder. I see your post that way…it will always be a healthy and valuable reminder! Thanks Ivon!
You are so right Wendell. There are readings or visual elements of our lives when we look at them anew we see them anew. It is reminiscent of Proust’s quote of seeing new horizons with fresh eyes.
Lovely, thanks for sharing.
You are welcome.
There is nothing wrong with being reminded of the important things in life…we sometimes let them slip away from us.
I agree. They just slip out of sight for a moment and we realize we missed them briefly only after the fact.
This is a great list to keep nearby Ivon..the best reminders are like this..
They are great touchstones and need to be close at hand or at heart.
Some good points there.
Yes, there are. It is one of those lists that makes sense.
Very good advice Ivon, reblogging!
