A lot of adults still don’t know how to differentiate between those two emotions. It’s fabulous that kids have you to help them see the differences between the two emotions… and how to cope with them.

I wish I had you as a teacher growing up!!
Glad to see you are feeling somewhat better…

Love,
KC

checking emotions isn't easy for everyone.. what gets me is people that get totally upset, even physically upset over something that they have NO control over. Being upset doesn't change things it only makes you feel worse. It's not always easy..but I think it's alot healthier knowing what is actually going on in your heart and head. These kids are lucky to have you! mps last blog post..Things going on…

It took me a long time to realize I wasn't angry with my mother for that very same reason. And I'm 32. You are so awesome Kelly. Karen Sugarpantss last blog post..It’s Enough To Drive A Person Crazy

You know, there are so many adults that don't realize that. I think it is great you enlighten them. Too few people are straight shooters any more. I am glad you are feeling enough better to go back to work. White Hot Magiks last blog post..And the Winner Is..

It’s been years since I was in high school, but I swear I’ve had a conversation just like that with a teacher. I think she had said to me, “It’s easy to admit anger because it’s an outward emotion. But admitting we are hurt often feels like a sign of weakness. It’s not. It makes you stronger. It humbles you.”

Of course, as a sophomore I didn’t believe it. But I’ve never forgotten those words. It makes all the sense in the world to me now.

I think it’s sweet that your students missed you. We all know what amazing work you do!

And to prove that your blog is not “delicate”, there is an add here giving away free samples of “caulk”.

It seems as if people don't change much as they get older. I've had conversations very similar to this with relatives in their 60s. Neils last blog post..We Built This City, Part 3

It’s part of counseling that’s difficult: hearing the underlying emotion rather than the spoken words. I’m glad you’re back at work; now don’t overdo yourself into a relapse!
