It&#8217;s going to be a terrible year.&#8221; &#8220;None of my friends are in my class.  I&#8217;m going to be alone.&#8221; &#8220;I don&#8217;t think I took the right classes to get into college (4 years from now.)  Like a tropical storm, the deluge of stressful thoughts made landfall as predicted in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A kind word can change a life. Even when it seems as if children aren&#8217;t listening, they do value your expertise and rely on your support. One of the many priveleges I enjoy as a mother and an educator is the opportunity to impart wisdom to young people.  I&#8217;ve had a new opportunity to do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve followed me long enough, you know that I&#8217;m no fan of &#8216;luck.&#8217;  (Click here for a previous post on the subject.) Luck, in the traditional sense of the word, is a disempowering concept.  However, this St. Patrick&#8217;s Day, I&#8217;ve decided to take the word less seriously and adopt a broader definition.  Let&#8217;s agree for a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may be familiar with the expression, &#8220;Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.&#8221;  If this is true, I must be insane. Frequently, my husband and I pack up our family for weekends at a family camp.  We manage, most times, to remember everything and everyone. (The movie &#8216;Home Alone&#8217; [...]]]></description>

There are distinct differences in the [...]]]></description>
