Moments in time...

'Time passes so fast if you dont stop and take a look around once in a while you might miss it'
Ferris Bueller

Its so true, and we need to take time to stop and take in what's and who's around us and appreciate them. However, it is also true that this relentless movement of time removes moments you want to forget and replaces them with moments you would rather remember.

Today has been like that for me.

Bad day at school...actually one of the worst I can remember in a long time. Just relentless put downs and negative comments having what I've done wrong pointed out in many ways yet no apologies for things others had done wrong. Just a day where it was my turn to be the scapegoat...

then...

2 things happened.

1) A friend turns up (yes you know who you are :)) and listens and gives advice and makes me feel 'I can' again
2) I get home to find a copy of Gifted International Education on my doorstep with my article in it alongside Professors from Universities and directors of Critical Thinking centres from around the World - someone else thinks I can and wants to show me they think I can...(does this mean I can now say I am published????)

Time marches on and despair is replaced with hope...

Thank you to all who bring hope - you are greatly appreciated :)
