Sometimes We Have To Face Our Fears

---

This old gal…

Ordered a whistle…stainless steel…lanyard…great for coaches…referees…

Had two…back in the day…but can’t find them…most possibly handed them over like the proverbial baton…to that teacher daughter of mine…

Was chatting with a friend in Texas…a former educator…taught PE…everything about her…says she was awesome with kids…mentioned substitute teaching…her eyes lit up and smiling she said…I loved subbing…

And there it was…that pang…the wonder why teacher me…is so afraid…to get back in the classroom…cuz she loves kids…she loves teaching…she loves meeting new people…but she doesn’t love…being afraid…

And so it is…in life…sometimes you have to face your fears…

So teacher me…substitute…teacher me…bought a whistle…to teach PE of all things…coming up in a week or so…

And it will be great…but she didn’t just say that…or think that…because we don’t…want to jinx anything…

And that husband of mine…laughingly…agrees…
