The other day, it was super windy and we were expecting a storm, so I decided to close my 4 yard umbrellas. I didn't realize I had brushed against a spider egg sack that attached to my shirt. When I changed my clothes I noticed the egg sack on the shoulder. Of course, after my shivers stopped I started thinking about things that attach to us as teachers & often we don't realize it's still attached to our emotions. Are you still carrying something around that happened during the school year?

I think we are always learning from our experiences and interactions. I try not to “carry” the negative things that happen around, and instead treat them like learning opportunities. I have learned to let go of the hurt feelings to make room for the lesson that I needed to learn from the experience. I have been practicing how to be reflective in uncomfortable situations rather than defensive. I am better at recognizing my mistakes, apologizing, and making changes for the better than I used to be.

Your words are so fill of wisdom. I guess we could all be better off if we could keep the negative things from eating at us.

I was bitten at the base of my thumb (teeth marks will remain forever) all the way down to the bone. I have been through physical therapy but I’m in pain to grab anything or lift anything using that thumb. My workman’s comp doctor wanted to close my case and my physical therapist gave me “suggestions” to not go back to him but get a 2nd opinion. He told me that the joint is locked and can’t be “unlocked” unless I have surgery to cut whatever to make my thumb work again. In the meantime, I’m in pain using that area for anything, including driving.

Oh, my! This is horrible to go through. Of course, insurance is always goong to balk and not cover things .

It is so easy to ignore those pesky, hurtful thoughts, actions, and words of admin, coworkers, students, and parents. But then at the most unexpected moment-BOOM! We are swept back into the feelings and hurt. I find that journaling or talking about it to someone I can trust helps.

Yes. I had a child get hurt on the playground and he didn’t tell anyone and i didn’t notice til the end of the day.

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?
