As a teacher, I adore the story from your first grade year. Schools are too focused out outcomes now to “waste” time on something so frivolous as expanding imagination and excitement.

But, what truly touched me was reminding me to let go of the fantasy of “no pain” and imagine my life, this life, as it really is and how I can make it the best it can be. Small tasks, little chunks of time, and I can do just about anything.

Thank you and have a wonderful Christmas.

As a fifth grade teacher I loved using my imagination to create lessons that would spark the interest of the students. Great memories.

I hope there will be photos of your gingerbread men/women from this year. Enjoy baking and creating.

You really touched my heart with this post. I have a a passion for baking. I always knew I liked to bake but I really have thrown myself into it and it has consumed me. But, I cannot do all that I did before. I, like you have had to break up a task into many parts in order to accomplish the task. I just mixed up oatmeal cookies with choc covered dried cherries, almonds. I am in so much pain, I barely made it to my desk chair. I hurt so bad and know that I probably won’t get to bake them tonight. It’s frustrating. But, if I want to accomplish my goals, then this is the way I have to do it. Thank you for making me realize that I am not alone in this. Hey, who knows, maybe next Christmas we can do a cookie swap!

BTW, I sent you photos of my hands with Raynard’s Syndrome, I have lupus and know I have RA although the docs have not diagnosed it yet. **sigh**

Thanks again, RA guy. Have a wonderfully Merry Christmas and a bright shiny new year
:-)
Michelle
