April and May have always seemed so full and piled high with commitments, responsibilities, tasks to accomplish, etc. In fact, this year has seemed like a continual "April and May!" As we survey what keeps us awake at night or overwhelmed during the day, as we said in an earlier podcast, it's good to ask ourselves if we would rather be busy or bored! But for some of you, those things are so heavy that trading them for boredom, at least for a while, would be wonderful!
I work with a lot of educators and know that these are hard times. Facing the multitude of difficult things in education can be overwhelming today. My heart is heavy for you who live in the trenches of that work. I am also grateful for your commitment, perseverance, courage, and willingness to do that important job. Those reading this who are not in education, I am sure support you with the same gratitude.
As we all are or have dealt with overwhelming things in life, it is good to ponder how to navigate the journey...
Thanks for listening!
