The other day I went out to dinner with two friends that I had known for almost 10 years. We only see each other once a month and sometimes once every two months. One is engaged and thee other friend is a teacher and single like me. I have actually known this friend since kindergarten. Do you know when you are in a difficult season and sometimes its hard to share when people everything that is going on in your life? Sometimes I only want to share one thing and keep the rest a secret so they don't have to feel bad if they are going through a good season or a season of joy.But since I have known these friends a long time and haven't seen them in a while I thought I would be honest with them and share what's on my heart You except them to be supportive and sympathetic to the situation. Then when they don't react the way you want them to do, its hard to stay focused the rest of the time you are with them. I walked away hurt from the situation. I felt like we had grown

So I ended my long term sub position this past Friday and the staff/students at the school blew me away with their kindness and send off.  One of the teachers bought me Jimmy Johns for lunch. Both of the first grade teachers had all the first graders write me a sweet note and how they will remember me. They put everyone's card in a binder. I was blown away by this surprise. Then Thursday night I was on my way home from work when I was rear ended on the free way and the other driver sped off. Thankfully it only shattered my brake light but still was super frustrating. Later that night the guy I was dating called things off which was a total surprise. I am not going to get into things because I want to keep it private  but I share this news so that you understand where I am coming fro
