The Good Kind of Exhausted

“May your coffee be strong and your students be calm.”

~ Every teacher greeting one another on the morning of October 31st

Today may be full of busyness and excitement. 

Today may invite a different schedule or unexpected activities.

At the end of the day, you may be exhausted, 

Yet my hope is that you would feel the good kind of exhausted.

The kind where you lay on the couch and remember the smiling and laughter from your day.

The kind where your heart is tired, but full at all the joy and creativity that was shared.

My hope is that the sweet moments would outshine the tough ones,

For we know most days have both.

I hope you carry beautiful memories from today,

Because I know your students will.
