Re: Taking the plunge
@Appleblossom I see you were up in the wee hours, hope you are sleeping now. Yes, the teacher is very greatful, she's so lovely with these littlies. I think of @Zoe7 when I meet her, a teacher who loves the kids, and her part in teaching them.
Humm, the flushing with embarrassment is very awkward, I do it always. There is opportunity for conversation here and there, I'll have to put the muscle to work, or find the muscle first!!!!!
A nun, physics and the creed, plus singing...... wow.......
I'm reading a very interesting book about the original meaning of the important biblical words, and how post modernists have changed their meaning. Bit of an eye opener to me.
Your self care plan sounds to be working for you. I know how challenging taking care of self can be. One of my self sabotage reasons of being where I am.
Sleep on if you can. I hope today is good to you. 💜💕💜🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

That is so sweet of you to think of me @Maggie - love that my teaching and loving the kids is something forefront in your mind when you are with this other teacher ![]()

@Zoe7 You're up early. Do you have a busy day planned??? Of course I think of you when with the kids and their teacher. Such an important profession. Not at all easy. I can only do my small part because there is a teacher present, without her, I couldn't do it. She keeps control, tricky, to say the least. Enjoy your day as best you can. Raining here, looks to have set in for the day. 💜💕💜💕

Re: Taking the plunge
Yes it is reassuring knowing I have a lot in common with that nun. They are not all the same tho ... we also had a very different upbringing, from a well to do educated family. One the other side was a previous adult piano student, so I feel that the world is shrinking in a good way.

It is sad when idealism dies completely. I try to find that space before it gets too naive. I dont see it as necessary for adulthood, to extinguish those hopeful parts of ourselves. I do have to be careful to reality check tho ...

I have been running around chauffeuring son, and need a nap before I go out tonight.

Re: Taking the plunge
@Appleblossom I hope you are rested after the taxi service duties. Yes the gap. I noticed the gap even among the nuns themselves. It is lessening I think, maybe not in some minds though, some never change.
I read somewhere you were face painting the other day, is that physically or is there a hidden meaning I may have missed ????
Im not achieving atm, the waves are rising. It will happen.....eventually. I do have a half finished paper mache waiting to be filled, and two eager beavers.
Take care if you can today. Lots of these for you. 💕💜💕💜💗💛

Re: Taking the plunge
Thank you @Maggie
The face planting ... is a phrase @Faith-and-Hope dreamed up ... my take on it is that I am so exhausted I will PLANT my face into the computer keyboard. lol
No painting by me!
Paper mache sounds good. @Zoe7 @smc and Faithand Hope are the arty ones.
Though last night I had a wonderful evening with many people active in the arts .... so there hope for me yet!
Today chauffeur and carpet cleaning and possibly taking myself to an opening in a gallery ... hmmm ... and some music.
