The inevitable has finally arrived. I’m desperately trying to remember my positive affirmations and keep a positive attitude about seeing students tomorrow on their first day back to school, however my poor old body reminds me with all of the tight shoulder, neck, back, and stomach knots that I may not be capable of “faking it til I feel it” this year. My body reminds me of how stressed out I really am not matter how hard I smile and attempt to prepare myself for another round. “The way out is through…I will survive.” Best of luck to all you wonderful educators out there! Here’s hoping this new year is better than all the rest! 😁
