Recycle a favorite post from July of any year that you have been blogging.
This week's writing prompt is to recycle a post from July of any year I have been blogging. This is a perfect prompt for me, as I have the perfect post to share. Please go to "I Am a Real Teacher" and take a look at where I was exactly a year ago.
It's funny that when I read this post I see all the errors in grammar and the typos I made, but I'm still proud of that post. A year ago today I accepted my first teaching position. Today I am preparing for my full-time position with a different school district, and I am just as excited by this new journey.
July must be my month for change and excitement. I have a long way to go still on the healing from shingles, and I've actually come to accept that I will never be perfectly "whole" again. I just admitted to Daniel days ago that my brain doesn't work the way it did before I got sick. I'm a little slower than I used to be, and attention and focus can be a challenge, especially when I'm overwhelmed. But I'm here, I'm able to keep up with my peers, and most of all, I am capable of providing my students with a quality education that will build critical thinking skills while building character, all well learning state standards. I must say... looking back, I am pretty darn amazing!
Just for fun I went back and found a favorite post from July 2010. Please see "I Am So Proud Of... ME!" In many ways this post makes me sad. I felt like I was on the top of the world in July 2010. It's amazing what a difference a year can make. I truly miss running, testing my physical ability, and competing against myself. I do hope that in the next year I can find some form of exercise that I can honestly feel good about that will give me the same kind of rush running did.
If you are a blog writer, I encourage you to do this writing prompt. I got lost in so many of my old posts finding the ones to share here, and it was amazing to see just how much I have experienced in two years. I hope you've enjoyed this glimpse at my past blog posts!

I did enjoy reading your last year's one, Karen! Your excitement for teaching and actually getting to be teaching in your own classroom was so evident in it! I liked your enthusiam through it all! What a cute prompt too; I'd have to go back to my other journal to do this since this new one I'm doing now I just started in January of this year. Could be interesting to see where I was last July (actually I think I was on a blog break now that I remember :)
I do hope you can find some type of exercise you can do that your body will "accept". Exercise, as you know, is so good for so many aspects of our lives.
enjoy the day and thanks for your kind comments about hubby's/brother's song!
betty
