This life can be very difficult and challenging in so very many ways!
But it is also beautiful and wonderful too! And in more ways than I can personally count.
It all depends on the angle.
For example, my math class is usually a place where it is hard to find smiles. My students are in my class because math is the most challenging subject for them (or close to it). So, they see the hard quite often.
But this week, I had a student look at my class from a different 'angle'. When others groaned while getting out the whiteboards, he said, 'I love whiteboards!' When others complained about working with a group, he declared, 'I love working in a group!' When others rolled their eyes at completing an online game, he kept repeating, 'I love math on a computer!'
My favorite quote from him this week? "This is a fun math class!" And best of all, he really meant it!
So I need to remember that when life is challenging to change my view's angle- then I can say, 'I love ____________!' And mean it too!
