Your Caring Fuels Me

Diana Maliszewski titled her blog post last week, Feeling Stressed, Feeling Loved, and by the time you read about all the things she managed to accomplish in one week, you'll know why she was feeling stressed.  But then she shares a lovely story about colleagues who planned a surprise appreciation for her at the OSLA conference and she even got a cake with her face on it!

This line from her post resonated with me:

Your caring fuels me

Wow!

How many other teachers, EAs, secretaries, administrators, parents, and students are running on fumes right now? How many barely have enough energy left to make it to the end of the month, especially as the heat and humidity climb and we sweat it out in schools with no AC?

It only takes a moment to share a few words of kindness with a colleague, a parent or a student and you may just give them the fuel they need to make it through the day, the week or the rest of the month.

Note:
I found Diane's blog from a link on Doug Peterson's summary: This Week In Ontario Edublogs which is a great way to find interesting posts that I might otherwise miss.
