Where's Santa?

Do you ever wonder where Santa is, on his biggest night of the year?

There's lots of ways to track your relatives' flights in real-time, but there's one jolly fellow in red who doesn't file an official flight plan with the FAA who's a little tougher to track over the holidays. That's right, Santa Claus. Luckily the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has been tracking Santa for us for more than 50 years, and this year's no different.If you want to track Santa with NORAD click on the Hyperlink below.

What Are You Doing Teaching Young Children?

There are those days when the logical mind says,
you must move on and do a better job of supporting yourself.
Those days when the logical mind says, why did you choose this
career, it is not reasonable.
If the heart can still the mind, then the answers are apparent.
Perhaps logic did not play a great part in choosing our jobs as teachers.
We are truly teaching life's most important lessons to the little ones;
The lesson of love, to love oneself unconditionally and to
share that love with others.
Perhaps we were guided and chosen to be in this place.
For teaching love in a crowded, confused and often angry world
is not something everyone can do.
How many people are hugged and told they are loved by the people
they work with each day?
How many people own original works of art created expressly for them?
How many jobs allow you to wipe away tears and make the world
a better place for others?
How many people are allowed to see a tired, weary world
through fresh new eyes,
where all things are possible,
To hear laughter and joy for no big reason, just for being.
When the logical mind says, what are you doing teaching young children?
Listen to your heart one more time


I forgot that I had this poem...I absolutely love it! I definitely needed to be reminded why I have chose to do what I do! There's so much drama going on at work. Everyone is there for the same reason... it's just to bad that everyone just can't be happy! But, then that's just me dreaming that we live in a perfect world without conflict or drama!

Christmas vacation could not have come at a better time!!
