The thing I’ve missed the most since moving, is the intimate relationship I had with my garden. I knew the little special places where I had worked on, the new plants coming to live, and that somehow grounded me. It hurt to leave that behind. 

This Mother’s Day, I asked my daughters (who live on their own) if they would help me make a little garden around my mailbox. I wanted to make new memories that involved all of us again. I loved spending that time together and I know that this little garden will give me joy for years to come.

I’m learning to be patient and to enjoy not having it all figured out. Just like I always approached my classrooms. It never bothered me to start the year with blank walls. I found that having room to grow together with my students was incredibly more rewarding. 

Happy new beginnings if you’ve moved schools, grades, or even had to go to a different classroom. You’ll make it your home once again. ❤️
