So far today I have been lucky enough to experience three of my "best feelings in the world". Today is Good Friday, and at the school that I teach the 8th grade class traditionally dramatizes the Stations of the Cross on this day. For the past two weeks, the thought of these Stations has been waking me up in the middle of the night with nervous pangs in my stomach. I've been worried. You see, when I accepted the 8th grade teacher position this year, I knew that I had BIG shoes to fill. The previous 8th grade teacher was greatly respected throughout the school and everything she ever did was FLAWLESS. So, I guess you can say that I was feeling pressure to measure up.
Today, my students pulled off the most reverent and breath taking dramatization that I could ever have hoped for. They had me tearing up. It was wonderful. I can't tell you how many people came up to me and complimented me on my leadership and my class on its beautiful performance.
So, as you see, already I had experienced two of my best feelings ever. 1) watching my students do something extraordinary and 2) being complimented by my fellow teachers, student's parents, etc.
After arriving home today, I was lucky enough to experience my third best feeling ever when my nephew (Lucas) left me a Happy Easter Greeting on my voicemail.
It went something like this:
"Hello Sawah"
"I la-loo"
"I miss you sa-wah"
"Happy Eafter"
"la loo, Sawah"
*ugh. so adorable it breaks my heart.
What a great day.
And to top it all off, my husband and I have plans of take a hike this afternoon around a local lake with our dogs. The sun is shining and it should be a beautiful way to end a beautiful day.
