Ever had a week that just wouldn't end? This is how I feel about this week. So much has happened and it continues to manifest. I can start off with saying that Monday was a really sad day as I found out that one of the mom's of a child I worked with last year passed away on Saturday after a lengthy battle with cancer. It was a shock to know that she had taken a turn for the worse over the last few weeks. I had only seen her about a week and a half ago and she looked really good and didn't say anything. So as a first time teacher in the classroom having to explain to 3-6 year olds about death is extemely difficult. How does on approach the subject when it does not directly affect them? I teach in the other classroom so the children in my classroom don't know unless a parent has told them already. One also does not want to scare the children into thinking that their parent is going to die. It's so crazy. Also my one co worker is off right now because she has some paralysis on her left side of her face caused by some nasty nerve virus so she isn't around to talk about the mom's passing.
I really believe that this is a time when I am really needing to hang onto what God is doing in my life and what He is trying to say because I don't know what to say or do. I was reading in a book this morning before heading off to work about really falling in love with God, and a part of that book made me realize that I'm not were I should be and I have to get back to where I should be.
So this everything that is happening with me this week. I am heading to SaltSpring Island on Saturday for the night. I'm looking forward to that, just to get away from this crazy place and relax, maybe take a long walk on the beach, take in some shopping at the unique market. Who knows.
I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving this coming weekend.
