If we keep looking behind us
at the things we did wrong,
we won't see the chances
ahead of us
to do some things right.

This is the message that my perpetual calendar has for me today. I can't help but think it is telling me a lot of things that I need to take heed to. I can not undo the past or redo some things. I must acknowledge my part in how things have gone down and forgive myself as I ask others to do the same.

I've got several projects in the works right now. Today I spent a lot of time reading and printing out microfilm on WWI. I'm going to work on a piece that goes from World War I to World War II. George has given me his blessing while also inquiring about my Ezell book. I'm also working on an idea to show the other teachers how to do recycled materials in cooperative learning. Right now it is magazines and the idea of scrap booking. I'm also buying up all the children's books that I come across at the Good Will, Hope House Warehouse and yard sales. I'm building up a library for my CDC room.

If I keep myself occupied in projects I won't have time to get lonely or feel disconnected.
