Good Things Come To Those Who Never Quit!

The undisputed queen of list making!

If you know anything about me: I love musicals of any kind and I also love to make lists. I guess I like to think of my life as an unofficial road map that dictates what will happen to me in the near future. John Lennon once wrote, "I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." So often I find that creativity is stifled instead of encouraged. When I interned as a 7th grade teacher I remember I taught a career unit. For this many of my students dreamed big and stated that they wanted to be neuro-surgeons, professional athletes, teachers, chefs, and my very favorite a Broadway actor (specifically Aaron Burr in "Hamilton").

Something a student gave me that I will always treasure

Just like my student who admired my passion in teaching my career unit, I couldn't help but acknowledge that I was throwing away my shot and not following my dream.

So whenever I pass by the "Hamilton" marquee I can't help but exclaim to myself that "I am not throwin' away my shot,"of course with my shot comes some definite breaking periods. Like Memorial Day when there was a parade in New Canaan, a service at the cemetery, and festivities at the firehouse.

After I had my hotdog I had some fun at the firehouse with my Aunt Liza and Uncle Lenny

After the Memorial Day festivities I went into the city to go on a date. I am not going to go into drastic details but let me just put it plainly he wasn't the one, but on my way home I did see something remarkable advertised on the train, it said "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait." Gee, I hope so, because I'm growing impatient, but I fear the struggle has just begun, and isn't getting ready for the prom the best part? Maybe life is all about getting ready for something to happen, they say to focus on the "process not the outcome."

A poignant reminder to keep on truckin’
