My family: I am so very lucky to have such a wonderful, supportive family. They have been there for everything I have needed, even though I am thousands of miles away from them. We are all very close and I cannot imagine my life without them. My son is my life and keeps a smile on my face everyday. I am a very lucky mommy. :)
My Career: I absolutely adore being a teacher! There is nothing else I can see myself doing. I love going to work everyday (even though it is hard to leave my son). Teaching supports the sense of purpose in me.
My husband and I would like to move back to Michigan eventually and with that comes the very real possibility that we may not find teaching jobs. If teaching was taken out of my life I would turn to my husband and family for support. I would have to find something else to do for work in order to provide for my family while actively looking for teaching jobs.
All of these supports have made me into the person I am today. I am lucky to have such a strong support system and do not take anything for granted.
Leigh,
ReplyDeleteYour husband is wonderful!! Every time I read how happy you are I am happy for you!! Not everyone has a spouse that does laundry AND cleans!
Moving is quite an adjustment. I moved about 2 1/2 years ago. It takes time to readjust to a new living style. You'll have support making the adjustment, which will be wonderful! Is there going to be a change in climate? If so, it may be more difficult for your son. Lot's of love and extra hugs will get him through.

What a blessing to have such a supportive husband!!! Children are pretty adaptable with lots of attention they make moving exciting. I moved thirteen times while I was married, some because of military duties but mostly he was running from his lifestyle. I do know about moving but you have a supportive husband and loveable child.
ReplyDeleteWell said; that teaching supports your purpose for existing.For me it is the three grandchildren. I know that God meant for me to be a part of their lives. And that feels great.
ReplyDeleteLeigh,
ReplyDeleteIt is simply wonderful how you find your support in your husband and family. Your words of teaching supporting your purpose of yourself is very inspirational. When I conduct trainings, I talk to teacher about the profession of teaching and how it has to be a passion that is driven from within. Thanks for sharing the essence of who you are and the supports you have in your life.
