I thought this would be a great quote to start the NEW YEAR!

A teacher is a blessing to all those she/he teaches...sometimes you have to retire like I did to realize just how much of an impact you have had on the children you have taught.

It seems that retirement allows you the opportunity to stop, slow down, unplug and remember all the little faces of the past and just how blessed you are... to be a teacher!!

( I used the present tense because one thing I have found out is... once a teacher...always a teacher!) 

I hope you all have a Happy Healthy New Year and a fabulous 2019 with all your students!!!

Remember...you DO make Difference!
