What I Know for Sure

I started reading 'What I Know for Sure' by Oprah Winfrey and it made me start thinking about what I know.  I am in a phase of life where I am learning new things. As a new mom, I am trying to learn everything I can in order to help make my life and the life for my family better.  I am only a chapter into this book, but I am already thinking; 

What do I know for sure...

• My faith is extremely important, but I do not make time for it like I should.
• My family is the most important thing in my life.
• Teaching is stressful, but I cannot imagine doing anything else.
• My students give me energy and fill me with joy (most days).
• Watching kids learn (my own and my students) is a wonderful experience and I feel honored to be a part of it.
• The world is full of hate, but most people are filled with good.
• Everyone deserves respect.
• You are more than your job.
• Life is hard.
• Many people are just trying to survive the day (I find myself part of this group often).
• Negatives usually feel worse than they are.
• Treating people kindly goes a long way.
• Reading is one of the best ways to spend my time.
• Treasure moments.

What do you know for sure?
