I had this crazy realization recently that I want to become part of the blogosphere. What was I thinking? I must be crazy. In my attempt to add dialogue to the Internet voice, I am jumping in feet first not knowing what I will be writing about or where this venture will take me. I do not even know what my voice will become on this journey, but, knowing me, it will change often. As the cliché goes, "Hang on, it will be a wild ride." I am certain there will be bumps, twists, turns, free-falls, and, hopefully, some smooth sailings along the way. Buckle up. Here I go...
I am just going to "get my feet wet" with this first blog since I have no idea what I am doing!
Today is a "Ladybug kind of day!" because I choose to be happy. I am at my desk looking at an email that my dad sent me a couple of years ago. I keep it posted nearby so that I will never forget (sadly, however, I seem to need this reminder everyday because I do, indeed, forget it). It was two years ago, and I was surrounded by so much negativity in my career and even personally, and I felt like the world was out to get me. My dad sent me (his "ladybug") an email reminding me that "It takes as much energy to be negative as opposed to being positive. 'Am I going to have a good day or a bad day?' I have a choice. It's not what happens to me that counts; it is how I react when it does happen to me...I have only a limited supply of energy for the day. Use it in a positive way. I will be happier and everyone around me will be as well." Thank you, Dad. Positive thinking is just as contagious as negative thinking. So, on this "It's a Ladybug kind of day!" I am choosing to be positive even when the annoyances of late papers, excuses for not completing reading assignments, and failing grades on the part of my students are slamming me from the left and the right. I can do this! Be positive--pass it on.
