back to school after relapse

[cj4music]

I just wanted to share that I had a great 2 days.

I am exhausted, yet happy, and completely amazed by the children I teach and the staff I work with. I hope other teachers living with MS feel as blessed as I did yesterday and today!

I returned to school after being away for 2 weeks, which comes at a brutal time because of reporting. Every single person I work with has welcomed me back with smiles and-or a hug, and an offer of "what can I do to help?" <most staff know about my MS>

I teach all 560 students in our school (music/band), and the kids have been fabulous, and all of the hugs and smiles remind me that my job is an amazing chance to make a difference.

I just wanted to share my happy thoughts, and hope it will inspire that extra little bit of "whatever-gets-you-through" when you need it most... Teaching is a pretty cool thing to do!!! (and it was lovely finding out that we are appreciated and missed when we are not there...)
