Living Happiness

A few days ago I wrote about writing with your heart instead of your head, and it seemed to resonate with several of you. I appreciated all of the lovely words and encouragement that came my way to assure me that this was the best thing to do and that you, for one, were enjoying my blog. Your words did a great deal to boost my spirits.

Over the past few days I have had my hands full trying to teach full-time, pack up a house, and prepare for a flight to the States on Thursday next week (one week from today). The last thing I have been able to do is sit down and write … from my head, from my heart, from anywhere.

I feel frazzled, anxious, and unsettled. Trying my darnedest to keep things in perspective, be in the moment, and not fret about a future that hasn’t happened yet. Easier said than done.

As a teacher, I have learned that learning is a dialogue between me and my students. Inasmuch as I instruct them, they instruct me. I do not have all the answers. Neither do they. But together we share more knowledge than when we are alone.

This is true in our everyday lives too. We all have something we can teach each other. We can all be each other’s students.

So today, I would like to offer you the opportunity to speak to me from your hearts. I would like to learn from you.

I look forward to hearing from all of you.
