I'm sure you could write a book from everything you've seen and heard as a teacher. <br /><br />I feel like nostalgia stalks me every which way I go, sometimes. Like I can't escape it! But then I put it back in its perspective place and I'm ok :) It is such a good reminder to live in the now. Enjoy life. And just be. <br /><br />So thank you for reminding me of this today!<br /><br />Jeanine :))Jeanine (Wayfaring Girl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14732451082104871518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-48431435442348379472012-02-09T17:35:53.378-07:002012-02-09T17:35:53.378-07:00Uh fiddle, that is hilarious.

I now stay home with our little one...some days I do miss those incredibly funny kids, and most days...I don't. : ) Once a student asked me how to spell "side kick." He said...you know, like a mind reader? OOOOhhhh you mean psychic!

It's when teachers lose that feeling that they become mundane, run of the mill educators with no purpose in their jobs. I hope you always keep that feeling tht you call nostalgia. <br /><br />On a related note, a 4th grader was describing the process of rain. "Condensation, Evaporation, Prostitution." It's so difficult to tell him he's trying to say "Precipitation" without laughing.~she~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00517811416862125834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-65203486443466148562012-02-09T08:47:02.400-07:002012-02-09T08:47:02.400-07:00Ah that is perfect!

I think what it really comes down to, is that you are having a wonderful appreciation for something great in your life. How fantastic is it when we can realize how good something is when we actually have it/are doing it, rather than when it's gone as it is with true nostalgia?Mo (New on U)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04805923529272507236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-45357035722550803512012-02-09T01:08:57.712-07:002012-02-09T01:08:57.712-07:00I know the feeling!

During my Sophomore year of college I went on Semester at Sea and everyday I knew I was one day closer to being finished with my adventure around the world - I remember standing in front of the Taj Mahal and saying to myself "Jenna, this is it, you might never be here again. Be sure to take lots of mental (and real) pictures and take everything in".<br /><br />I think it's just a sign of appreciating where we are in life at that exact moment, so much so that we don't want it to end.<br /><br />Beautiful, beautiful post, I can tell you are one of the favorite teachers!<br /><br />xxx<br />JennaJennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238434752028472905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-82670889249343151252012-02-08T23:42:48.619-07:002012-02-08T23:42:48.619-07:00Well Bon at least you're enjoying the phase of...Well Bon at least you're enjoying the phase of life you're in and not wishing it away like so many people do. Don't worry, one day you'll be empty nesters and you and Hubs can stroll over to McDonald's at noon when you're sixty. And you can always go back to teaching when the kiddos are out of the house. I just renewed my license... hope to go back some day.Marindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603818218940309239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-56498968951389214832012-02-08T22:28:23.518-07:002012-02-08T22:28:23.518-07:00Sometimes I think I'm the Nostalgia Queen - it...Sometimes I think I'm the Nostalgia Queen - it can be so sad. The other day I was cleaning out a trunk, and found a whole bunch of old notebooks that were filled here and there with little doodles and notes my sister made to me throughout our lifetime. Now she's all married and moved across the ocean. Huge nostalgia wave!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11310654291830913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-87777678108325032182012-02-08T20:40:48.700-07:002012-02-08T20:40:48.700-07:00This is so touching <3 I often feel nostalgia, ...This is so touching <3 I often feel nostalgia, such as this...It's beautiful and sad at the same time.
