I had a great day today subbing for 5th grade. I do love what I do. There is no pressure, just relax and do what I do best, and that is teach. All in all, it was a very good day.
I shared this message from Mr. Tony Garcia with them this morning, and I want to share it with you also.
This a Whisper from my Heart
A morning prayer.
May I take the tools I have been given to build a better little corner of my world.
May I use the gifts I have been given to make the day brighter for another.
May I remain present enough to count the grand blessings in my life instead of adding up the minor problems which might arise.
May I patiently wait my turn as the day unfolds so others will not feel hurried or rushed.
May I not cross paths with another without leaving them in a better place for having shared time with me.
May I share the hope and love that exists in my heart so others may feel this in their day.
May I choose to walk forward this day, even if my steps are small, slow, clumsy, or heavy.
May I face the day full of wonder, willing to grow, accepting of what it brings, and ever grateful for the breaths it affords me.
May I do all this knowing I am cared about, watched over, surrounded by and filled with love.
Amen.

And so I did. I used my tools and gifts to make a difference, to give a bright spot in someone's life. And so, as I bring this day to a close, I pray this morning prayer as a prayer of thanks for giving me today.
