When I was in college, studying to teach elementary school, we were told the following: By the time a child is 3 their character is 60% developed; by the time they are 6 their character is 90% developed; the last 10% of their character is developed in their puberty and teenage years. I've thought of that so much as I sub. I see these kids in middle school and know that they are deciding, right now, about the last 10% of their character. The last couple of days I've taken pics of me to post and realize that I even look so much like I did as a senior in high school; right down to my haircut! Pardon me for reminiscing, but I couldn't resist noticing since it's so much on my mind with the kids these days. It's just too bad that the wrinkles have to come and stay, but I repeat that I am so grateful that wrinkles don't hurt!
I didn't get a call to teach today, so I'm going to get some things accomplished around here. I started out with sleeping late! I'm going to run out and give Dorothy a hair cut in a while and it's haircut day for Lee, too. I'll get a trim. We're going to Garrett's ROTC banquet on Saturday and we're not going grubby.
I thank God that I'm feeling good. I know that I am so blessed. I experienced a little pain back around the first of the year, and it was getting old. What a blessing to have the pain disappear! I pray that it's a sign that the cancer is backing up at the treatments we're throwing at it, but I'm grateful for the relief regardless of what it really means.
