To The Lady In The Tie Dyed T-Shirt

Dear Lady In The Tie-Dyed T-Shirt,
I didn't get your name, and I didn't give you mine.
I am sorry for that.
I know you will probably never see this post,
And that's ok.
I wanted to give up today. I wanted to quit.
I didn't think I could do it another second. I was done.
Then you, lady in the tie-dyed t-shirt came up beside me.
We made small talk, and I said how I hated to run and I didn't think I would ever be a runner.
"Yes you will," you said "yes, we will," you said.
You gave me the motivation to run a little further.
Thank you lady in the tie-dyed t-shirt for pushing me to end the 2 mile track running in.
Thank you lady in the tie-dyed t-shirt for the motivation.
Thank you lady in the tie-dyed t-shirt for not giving up.
You will never know how much that meant to me today.

To all of you who have ever been the lady in the tie-dyed t-shirt, I thank you.

I could not think of a better post for my 50th post, than to get to express my gratitude for someone that took their time to push and motivate me, when they do not know me other than the lady in the green tank top.

Better

Last year during a book study at school we were reading The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon. One of our assignments during our study was to pick one word for our year which is also based on a book, My One Word by Mike Ashcraft and Rachel Olsen. Long story short, instead of making a resolution for the New Year. You pick a word. If you go here you can read about that. Basically, here is a simple three step introduction. Step One: Determine the kind of person you want to be. Step Two: Identify the characteristics of that person. Step Three: Pick a word. Last year, I picked the word consistent. I felt that I did a good job being consistent. I started thinking about what word I wanted to use for 2019. I have been thinking for a few weeks. I have still been thinking about the person I want to be this year, and for every year for that matter. I have thought about those characteristics of that person. And today, on th...

Link Up

Finish The Sentence With Jake & Holly Hey! I've never done a link up before but I thought, why not. My page sucks and I'm almost embarrassed to link up and have some really cool "professional" type bloggers look at it, but oh well. Make fun if you want, I'm a stressed out teacher, that hasn't even had time to blog in ages. Anyways I read these link up things all the time, always wanted to join in the fun. This one looked fun...so here it goes. I hope I don't suck. BTW, I'm such I loser I don't know how to link up right, sorry I'm a failure My happy place... Walking down Broadway in Nashville, TN. I love all the live music you can hear from every honky tonk. Or at a musical.... Or at a live concert... Or the beach... Pretty much if you get my out of the house or work I'm friggin' happy. Whatever happened to... Andrew Keegan. I may google that later. (and yes the Full House song popped in my head too...

Long Time, No See

I am not sure why I started this blog approximately a million years ago other than I enjoyed placing my thoughts together. I also enjoyed feedback from my friends, even though I figured they were just being nice because they are my friends. I know I will never how some great blog. I don't have the time to figure all of that out. I don't have the know how to code and make it all pretty. And I'm ok with that. Hopefully you all are too. I will never be a fashion blogger, or fitness blogger, or any one of importance. And that, too, is ok. I just spent an embarrassing amount of time going back and reading some of my former blog posts. I'm sorry that I subjected you to that. 2011 was a long time ago. I was a 25 year old, single, overweight, third grade teacher. So Allow My To Reintroduce Myself Hi! I'm Megan ! I am now a 32 year old, overweight, first and second grade math teacher. I like to ...
