Today started off pretty badly.

I average grades weekly so that my students have an idea of how well (or how poorly) they're doing. This morning, though, was depressing: 72 folks are failing or close to failing my class.

Hmph.

However, I can honestly say that I am doing all that I can to help them succeed. The ones who want to meet success are doing so, and I must focus my attention on them when I feel discouraged by the others.

Overall, I am quite content with my life. I enjoy my church family, I love not only my biological children but also the kids in my classroom, and my friends bless me every day.

Life is good!
