Me, on twitter, why? Other people post pretty lives. My life is messy. If you are more real than right and more mess than model, follow me!

We had a long weekend break. I could grumble about traffic and rerouting, but instead I have to share the joys of the detour. Check out today’s blog for musings and a few decent pictures too... https://t.co/6Rq4tslOaI

@WolfpackPrin Rhonda, thanks so much! I think so often we forget where we authentically started. I’m always trying to be real with the kids ( and with myself). As always, I had such a great foundational teaching start with administrators like you!

I had an idea! Grab some chalk, draw an egg, and join in the egg hunt as you walk, stroll, or drive! Take pictures of your discoveries and tag them #sidewalkchalkegghunt and #hunting4easter My first egg is a big one! Happy chalking and hunting!

How do you stay positive when so many things are uncertain? Ask someone who has seen it all (or at least a whole lot of it). We are Living History: Lessons From a Nonagenarian https://t.co/SBDwP5utP4

The Friday Challenge https://t.co/fr82fqH05X True confessions... This is my Friday. What's yours?

[Mary Ellen Courville @askmaryellenwhy]

I have a 91 year old grandfather who teaches an exercise class, and a 90 year old grandmother who plays piano for their assisted living community each morning. How can I not be inspired with those examples? #getinspired #passionproject #hobbies

[Mary Ellen Courville @askmaryellenwhy]

@RonzHobbies Thanks Ron! I may be relegated to napkin-folding, but we've all got to start somewhere. Your artwork truly inspires.

[Mary Ellen Courville @askmaryellenwhy]

Seeing comments about a hobby-less generation makes me so sad! I am a passionate pursuer of joy. I want that for every student I teach and person I meet. We are surrounded by inspiration. Like this, paper folding... Maybe I should try it.#passionproject #hobbies #getinspired

@tdstech Yes! You're going to love looking back. (If you don't get to it, just put them in a big ziplock bag, and kick off the season by doing it next year, or let your kids help!) Here is a stack I had Office Depot bind. #coffeetablebook #christmascard

[Mary Ellen Courville @askmaryellenwhy]

Keep your Christmas cards! I usually take them to Office Depot to have them bound, but this time I just ribbon tied them! #christmascard #coffeetablebook #Goodbye2019
