It’s always a good day to find a way to help someone else. Think of ways everyday that you can do something for the betterment of humanity.

Being kind is good for your mind, so take time today to help others and in so doing your well being will benefit..

This year I decided I wanted to get stronger with weight training. I know as I get older this is more important than ever, so today I had my first training session and it felt great.

This is new for me, but as I contemplated what I needed , I knew taking the time for myself in this manner would be beneficial. As I journey through this process I hope to learn new skills that I have never had before and already I can see this will be a new venture that will be worthwhile.

I love working in schools. They are dynamic , energetic , never dull and just plain interesting places to be and work in.

Youth are amazing really. I love listening to them and doing my best to help them navigate life.

What a privilege it is.

Check out this wheel of well – being from Jack.org and Kids Help Phone, It is a great place to start to think about how you are doing. Share your thoughts with someone you trust.

I work at starting my day each day in a positive way. First by getting up early all by myself and easing into the day. I usually have a cup of tea and a great breakfast as breakfast is my favourite meal. I focus on reading something positive and then off to my day I go. This week I got to spend lots of time with adolescents. They are my favourite to be with. What about you?

What are you up to? Do weekends feel like they use to? They don’t for me , but I’m curious about you. It’s the weekend what are you up to these days?

If you are an educator you know Friday nights you just want to get in your jammies and chill.

So go ahead and do just that!
