the other day i was hanging out with an old friend from high school. we havent seen each other since he graduated. he was 2 years ahead of me in school. of course then the college years come, we just lost touch with each other. fast foward 8-10 years later, i ran into his twin brother while being out with my friends one friday. his twin tells me the scoop, gives me the rundown, we exchange numbers and be on our way. week passes he calls, we hang out and it felt like thngs havent changed .......to a point.......
he is still the same, he could make me laugh, smile, be me
the funny thing is that we were having a conversation about where are the good ones, both of us has yet to find "the one"
this came up:
him: you should google "where to find a good man" answer should be sitting right next to you
me:lets see
im not confused nor taken back by his answer....his comment made me think about the good guys i know and made me wonder what they are doing now and are they still good guys?
did they get hurt and no longer the good ones?
what happened?

Conference
Today Im at the MICCA conference in Bmore. This is another conference that I am going to enjoy. I can say that going to conferences is another perk of being a teacher. A teacher, my career, my job, what I do to make money. Yes I went to school for 4 years to become a teacher. At first I was leery about my career choice. But I fell in love with teaching and all that teaching does. I know that I dont make much, but to know that I am working with the younger generation. I dont plan on advancing in my career. I dont see myself in the classroom, but I know that I dont want to deal with an administration role.
I saying all this cause eventhough I like teaching, I need a change.
So whats Next????

The Butterfly
I received in the mail an inspiring letter about healing. As most of you know, 2007 ended up being a hard yet memorable year due to the fact that I lost my father. As most of you know, I was very close to my father. So I am going to share the words that I received today.
The Butterfly
The butterfly is a symbol of hope, the symbol of new life and the symbol of those who are bereaved. Before it comes a butterfly, though, it must spend time in a cocoon.
We might be tempted to help release the butterfly from her cocoon. It is human nature to want to assist, but if we do, she will fall to the ground and die. By her struggle to free herself, she strengthens her wings enough to survive and fly.
Grief is certainly like this process. We feel ugly, we change, we hide, we sometimes spin a cocoon around ourselves. It takes a long time. There is a difference, however, others may help us as we struggle. We need not todo it all alone as the butterfly does; but the ultimate responsiblity is ours. We have to grieve, hurt, cry, be angry and struggle to free ourselves from the cocoon of grief. And one day we do emerge---a beautiful butterfly---a stronger person,a more compassionate person, a more understanding person.

I would like to thank all of those that showed me that there is still hope. I thank God everyday for having true friends, that are genuine. They have really showed me about being there for each other. I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart.
