Today's TeachThought's Attitude of Gratitude blog challenge prompt makes me cringe. It's one of those questions that force me to be look inward, pushing me to be "mindful." Touch-feely questions raise my cynicism-hackles.
The cringe-causing query? What is one life lesson that you are thankful for having learned? Eeeew.
My strategy? Read what reflective teachers have to say, hoping their words shake loose ideas hidden in the cobwebby wrinkles of my brain.
The blogger behind Eat the Yolk reminds me that teaching is like a roller coaster, full of uncertainty she can't control. The author of Middle Management - A Teaching Journey amplifies the theme, noting she can't manage everything or anyone.
