This time of year is so very difficult for me. It is the end of another school year. And this year is especially hard... I was blessed to be able to share this school year with my daughter!
The mixture of emotions is tiring. A continuous rotation from sadness to gladness and back again. Yes, I am glad that summer is approaching and with that the beautiful lazy days to spend with my own children. :)
But... I am not ready to say goodbye to these students of mine.
So, dear reader, tonight is a teary night. I'll take a bath, pray my Rosary, and spray my pillow and sheets with lavender to help me fall asleep. If you have children who attend school please say a prayer for their teachers tonight. (And if you wouldn't mind, please add one for me too.)
This is a part of a prayer written by Janet Colsher Teitsori from her book, Rainbows for Teachers.
Tonight it is my prayer too.
Father, you who are the Creator of all
our emotions, understand how it is
that my heart sings at the thought
of a brand new summer and at the
same time, cries, for I have just
said good-bye to a part of myself.
Amen
Peace and blessings,
Mary
Jesus, I trust in You!
