Enough Words?

April 28, 2008

My awesome writer-mom-of-four friend Melissa at Making Things Up tagged me for a meme to write a “six-word memoir.” Now, being the Having Enough gal, you’d think it would be easy to come up with a few pithy words to encapsulate my life.

But, alas, I’m late on this meme like my Odyssey book report in 10th grade because I just can’t seem to get my brain there. Rather than drag out the procrastination, though, I’ll just throw one out, and not worry about the grade:

Overachiever turns happy by letting go.

    I love it! It’s a snapshot of where you are.

    Nicely done!

    Ah, I like your memoir.

    I answered the same question on another blog I read with: I never picked the easy path.

    I love your memoir! I wrote one of these, too, and my sister (fellow Mama, PhD contributor) had hers published in the 6 word memoir book!

Monthly Quote

A good teacher is a master of simplification and an enemy of simplism. -- Louis A. Berman

Monthly Affirmation

To recognize all I have to learn -- and always will have to learn -- is part of being an evolving person. To analyze the complexities of our world with respect, passion, and often wonder -- to students, children, peers -- is part of my contribution. To honor those who teach me shows that I understand gratitude, and what is most important in this life. REPEAT: I honor my learning, and I honor my teaching. To continue this cycle: that is enough.
