Planning is important.
Learning from past mistakes is important.
But today is all we’re guaranteed.
Live in today and be grateful. It’s the greatest gift. Don’t waste it with worry.
Sermon over.

Something happen today that’s stuck in your craw?
If you think hard I bet you’ll find a reason to be grateful, even if it was initially really rough.

So do that.

And don’t read your email.

Then get a good night’s sleep.

Good morning. Your body knows. Rest your bones. It’s okay to take a beat before the beat takes you. Clearing the deck doesn’t mean everything’s done, it means focusing in on what matters most. Make your mark by marking your make & that’s you! Take care today. Happy Saturday✨

[Jeff Stocks @Stocksjd63]

Enjoy the weather along with all you’ve accomplished this week. Take a moment to breathe and find gratitude for a good day. Today is a gift!

Admit it. This is you.

We Glorify Overwork and Refuse to Rest

None of us want to admit that we would rather feel overwhelmed than underwhelmed.

Sure you do some of this, but do you promote mental and physical well-being of staff? Maybe not.
But why not?

The statement “I’m just an aide” should be banned from all schools. ☺️❌ Paras are essential and make an incredible difference in redirecting kids’ pathways.

Shoutout to all the paras!!!

Senior sunrise, pep rallies, new staff, fresh faces, students and teacher in the honeymoon phase, and on and on- so many joys to start the year.
Pause
Breathe

@kfinnesand You know who could ride one of these (which I witnessed at a pep rally)? Alys Shorter!

[Jeff Stocks @Stocksjd63]

Principals, you may not need this in week two, but you may in week 22. Schedule 5 mins of quiet time. Breathe.

Good Morning! Happy Wednesday.
Take time for yourself today.
There are times when all we really
need is some peace and
quite---time
alone.

@BethFratesMD Lyrics to a country song I’m working on (really):

Why would you ruin the taste of good beer by worrying about things that ain’t even here?

[Jeff Stocks @Stocksjd63]

@j_rodricks1 @katyisd Elections matter!

[Beth Frates MD @BethFratesMD]

How many times did you laugh today? There is a saying that "Children laugh 300 to 400 times a day + adults only 17.5." I think many adults don't laugh that much. Talk to friends that make you laugh. Follow friends on Twitter that have a sense of humor. Laughter is medicine.😊

Every word we speak and every action we take has the capability to add to or take away from our school’s culture.

Our words matter.
Our actions (and reactions) matter.

Love your kids.
Love your coworkers.
Love your school.

It’s as simple as that. #multiplyexcellence

@ElisaFarris1 It’s crazy. If you just HAD to have a disciple center (which is doubtful) you could probably use a gym and still get teams rotated through remaining gyms or bus to nearby gyms without losing the activity. But the LIBRARY? And you want kids to read?? My God!!
