The magic of beginnings. I just love it. Instead of feeling anxious or nervous or doubtful, I am trusting in the magic of beginnings. I am so grateful for this beginning I am starting.
Tonight was open house at my new school and I stood awkwardly at my office door kind of wondering why I was even there. Kids were walking towards their new classroom with backpacks full of supplies and parents in tow. I smiled as they went by and watched as the office helped those that stopped for one reason or another. A line started to form and a mother and 5 year old boy stood at the back of the line, close to my office. I smiled and said hello and that was all it took. He was the most excited a kid has even been to go to school. He was literally bouncing with excitement when he told me he got to come to this school every day and be a kindergartner. He told me he was so excited to meet new friends and see his classroom and play outside and then in mid-sentence he jumped towards me and gave me a hug. He was so happy to be there. And at that moment, I was too. It was a little piece of magic.
