Head up keep looking upward.
Face forward. Dont look back. Too much of that. Not so much where you've been. Where you're going.
Hard to keep on going. So many distractions. The easy way looms in front of me beckons me. My mother, God love her, always thinks the easy way is just well, the easiest the best shouldnt you just do that? My whole life has been centered on "do the easy thing". No. I am pretty much done with that way of thinking. I am happier when I do what feels right not what feels easy.
Two sides come to me, talk to me, say "head down, keep on striving" other side says "well you could reach part of the goal Do A and B and just skip C" other side says to me "Why not just go to Z why stop?" my head is spinning.
Head down.
Joseph doesnt like it when it gets too loud or noisy in the classroom. A certain boy distracts him and upsets him. His teacher Oh how I love her came up with an idea over the weekend to put headphones on him to muffle the noise. She's a UC Berekly grad I think that helps, it shows. When she told me I said "Well you know we do that when we go to hockey games I didnt think about using it in class" and we both looked at each other it was an AHA moment to be sure.
She didnt know if it worked for him. She thought she was coming up with a great idea and indeed it is. I didnt know it was an option in the classroom. His face lit up a bit to have his own headphones to wear. He likes it. Filters out the distractions.... maybe I can get some pink ones for me.
