Life

I know it's been ages since I last posted. I'm always planning on posting and I have so many pictures that I want to upload, but something else always seems to be the higher priority. Today is different though. I'm not going to post an update on my life although that's way overdue; today I'm writing as a release to my emotions and a tribute to someone who has been an inspiration to me although I've only met him a couple of times.

I just learned that Jason Zimmerman died this past Saturday. He's the author of the blog Adventures & Misadventures of Daily Living. I've been following this blog for a couple of years now and I always find something to laugh at, cry about, or feel inspired and uplifted. I have so many great teaching ideas from this man because he's a teacher too and he's one of those teachers that actually do make a difference in kids' lives.

It's incredible how we all have an impact on one another! Even when we don't know another person all that well they can still leave an impression. I'm going to miss reading his blog. I'm going to miss the motivation he gave me to be better, to try harder, to put as much effort as I possibly can into my teaching.

Now, I'm going to go back to doing my laundry and the mundane things of life. It seems that I should be doing something more....

To my family and friends that may read this post, please know that I love you! I don't say or show it enough.

Thank you Jason for teaching me and inspiring me.
