Last week I wrote about being “full speed ahead”! I’m assuming that you’re still feeling like we’re moving at breakneck pace down the tracks. What I love about us is our sense of urgency and our “pay now instead of later” mentality. We are all in. We are getting stuff done! While I definitely want to encourage us all to keep moving forward with our great ideas and plans, I couldn’t help but be inspired this week by this picture of a squirrel who decided to take a minute to stop and smell a flower! (I never thought I’d type that sentence, but let’s face it, as principal at JW I’ve said and done a lot of things that I never could have imagined). I love this picture. It reminds me that we must take the time to see the beauty, wonder and magic that is around us. We are in a building filled with children who are so happy to be here with us each day. They say and do the funniest, sweetest things. Sometimes it’s easy to let the bad things, the stressful things or the hard things get our attention and distract from the joy and beauty that surrounds us. Today, I challenge you to stop and smell the flowers! Enjoy the days that you get to spend in a building full of children!
