alance – That’s my one word resolution for 2012.
Last week on the Art of Education blog, my PLN friend Jessica Balsley wrote a post about how she is going to make her new year’s resolution in one word. At first, I thought this was a little crazy, but as I read on, I decided to jump on board! I’m finding the more I think about it, the more it fits into EVERY aspect of my life.
Balance –
It works for home and school,
for work and play,
for body and mind.
Balance –
Reminds me to keep myself in check,
to lift myself when I feel down,
to slow myself when I feel rushed.
Balance –
Reminds me to be creative and stick to the rules,
to teach the whole child,
to differentiate.
Balance-
Reminds me to take care of myself and those around me,
to spend time with each of my kids
those both in and out of school.
Balance –
Helps me to write less so I can read more,
reach out and allow others in,
keep on working hard and, gosh darnit PLAY!
Balance –
Ya, that’s my word!
What’s yours?
