It all comes down to...

Attitude

My good friend Sabrina shared this with me last night, and I had one of those Oprah-esque "ah-ha!" moments. (Check it--I've referenced Oprah two days in a row. Pervasive, that gal.)  I have a big change ahead of me, in terms of my job. I'm going from a multi-grade assignment back into a self-contained classroom, which I'm THRILLED about, but I'm having a difficult time coping with the fact that I will likely have to move school sites.  I'll be moving away from a staff and student body that I hold dear in my heart, and I'll be moving away from my GIRLS, as they'll most-likely have to stay at the current site.  What I need to realize is that I am extremely fortunate to have a job in this economy and very few parents have the luxury of working where their children go to school.  I'm going to do some re-framing this week and take my attitude out for a spin!

I agree, Sally-I feel lucky to have a job-but I am worried about next year. It's ALL about attitude, isn't it? Thanks for sharing! Keeping my fingers crossed that you land a spot at your site!!!!
