Little wonders...

This is going to be short and to the point. It might be time to appreciate the little things in life, to appreciate those small wonders. Those simple moments when life is just good. There is a song by Rob Thomas that I just love called "Little Wonders" and it made me think of life and inspired me (as music usually does). **See lyrics below. 
My little wonder today was when I realized that being a teacher is full of little wonders. 
Tonight, a student of mine had her last home volleyball game and it was Senior Night. At the game each senior has a little bio about their time...and she mentioned that I was in hers- which might be akward because I was the one reading the bios. I thought nothing of it..but as I read it (and admittedly got a little choked up I realized that if she really felt this way...then my job was worth all the stress. 
Here is what she said " Ms. Lamb, it's impossible to accurately say how much you mean to me and to thank you for all you've done for me. You keep me focused, you keep pushing me to do better, and are always there for me when I need to vent. We laugh, cry and complain together and this relationship means the world to me." i love my Doopaloop. 


So I guess what I am saying is let it go, let everything bad go. Realize that you impact someone's life, that you make the world a better place. Realize that you are amazing and that the little wonders life has to offer, the small moments, the best friends, the unexpected friend...they are make this world worth living. 


With hope, love and faith,

Karen





Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in,
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

Let it slide,
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you
And i don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by,
It's the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

All of my regret
Will wash away some how
But i can not forget
The way i feel right now

In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours, still remain,
Still remain
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders still remain

What she said is entirely true. You are such an inspiration and keep so many people going. You have been through so much in your life, yet you have put it all aside and have turned it around & looked at the positive side of thing. Instead of bringing forth a negative vibe around others you are so positive and always there for others, while showing unconditional love to ALL of your students, friends, and family.

Thank you for everything that you've done. You're an amazing person, Miss Lamb! <3
