Celebrate

Tomorrow will be my last day of work. I'm a little melancholic about it, because I really enjoyed my job. I'm going to miss my students and fellow teachers. The last nine months have been a huge learning experience for me. I've learned a lot about myself and about my professional-self. Despite the melancholy, Im filled with gratefulness, for I got to experience all this right after graduating from university. I'm going to celebrate all the wonderful memories and people I got to meet - and hopefully touch.

Peace

Once again,  I have no idea what's going to happen. Once again I'm standing on the edge of something new and saying goodbye to something old, though it never really had time to become old. Once again I am reminding myself: don't worry. Everything will be alright.

Organised

I feel like there's too much going on in my life right now. Once again I'm feeling bit overwhelmed, because I'm not the most organised person in the world. It's a skill that would make my life so much easier - especially when you don't need extra stress from trying to find missing paper forms etc. 

I am trying to be more organised this month. So far it's been an uphill battle. But I'm not giving up.

Now

This month I've been struggling with restlessness. I've been worrying about the next school year, because I still don't know where I'll be working (or if at all). So instead of worrying, I want to celebrate the glorious now. My now is filled with beautiful blessings. 

Words of 2016 - February

Seek

January's word would have been perfect for February too, but I choose seek. I want to see things for what they truly are. First impressions can be misleading. I want to seek the truth.

Focus

It's time to go back to work. Keep it simple. Don't fill your calendar too full. Stay focused on what's truly important. Remember your goals and do your best to achieve them. Focus so you don't get overwhelmed.
