a good way to help ourselves solve problems... i tend to forget that some things are really solve-able...
like
what to get certain people for christmas, or
things i can do to improve my classroom, or
where to begin when i find myself with extra time on my hands...
just when i think i have no ideas and there's probably no solution at all, i remember i have been given the ability to reflect, consider, ponder, and brainstorm lots and lots of ideas... once i do that, the solution (or at least a good place to start) usually becomes incredibly clear!
..just thought i'd share... <3
