Giving Grace
As each of us adjust to the new normal, we are discovering more about ourselves as educators, as parents, as members of the community. Learning and growing is hard, confusing, painful, emotional. Many of us, if not all, have run through all the emotions lately. I know I have. The ever changing status and needs of our families and students have taught and tested my patience, flexibility, and perseverance. For a planner, the lack of being able to plan has rocked me to the core! But through it all, I have found myself handling it better than some because of one word- grace. I am giving myself grace, my family grace, my coworkers, students, and even my hubby's work grace. Just as I am struggling, so are they! We must take a moment and consider that everyone is doing the best they can, providing for their families the best they can, teaching their children the best they can. So they deserve, have earned, my grace. Today. Tomorrow. And the days ahead.
