The happy secret to better work

January 13, 2016

  • Three gratitudes: 1.—Course review lessons and realizing that my first semester was pretty productive; 2.—Getting another Facebook friend request from a blast from the past; 3—Not winning PowerBall
  • Exercise: Nothing.
  • Meditation: Prayed a rosary with special intentions for a friend starting chemo
  • Random Act of Kindness email: Complete
  • Journal about one positive experience in the past 24 hours: 
I'm a bit self-conscious when it comes to telling people that I write.  No one really knows me yet at my new job, so only a few colleagues are aware of my self-publishing LINES— in December and the poems that were published last week.  However, I did share this information with my department chairman, and today, when I went to my faculty mailbox, I found a card from him with words of congratulations.  It meant a lot to know that my passion outside of teaching is supported just as much as my passion in the classroom.  I'm blessed!
