Today was brutal. Probably the worst day since I started 365 Days of Joy. Between the students in my classes and the educational experiences of my own children, this was an extremely stressful day. Extremely.
I found joy at the end of the day during my daughter’s dance class and then during her Girl Scout meeting. My daughter is genuinely good at dance, and I often wonder if we should get rid of the sports and just let her take the six dance classes that would make her incredibly happy. Then for Girl Scouts we travelled to a local animal rescue for a tour and information on animal care. The girls in my troop are obsessed with animals and it is just refreshing to see them have such compassion for animals who have not had the best experiences in this world. I really would have found joy if I had taken an orange tabby cat home today, but I didn’t. 🐱
