~:[CH6 - Day 311]:~ Something Rotten

There was something rotten in the air today. My classroom had a slight odor, later realizing that it wasn't just isolated to my classroom. Regardless, I wondered exactly what that scent in the air was today. With sadness on how the election turned out and a few other things, it took a musical to remind me that when things seem rotten, you need to take a step back and see exactly what you're not seeing. You need to open your ears and your eyes so that you can truly evaluate where you are so you can figure out a way out of the mess. My life is far from a mess or from being rotten, but regardless, I can still implement strategies from even going near a place like that in the first place. A positive spirit, perseverance and a smile are big components of that success. As while all may feel like it's collapsing down on you, you also need to see the opportunities that lie where you currently find yourself. Not all days will be rainbows and sunshine, as sometime you have to sludge through the mush. However, you need to keep moving and keep your spirits up if you ultimately want to guide your way out of that rotten mess. Life will also be a challenge and in that challenge, you can begin to discover who you are and what you're made of. As while sometimes these moments are not pleasant, these are the moments that help mold you into the person you are today. As the musical goes, sour grapes become wine and those lemons can become lemonade, if you have the right mindset and never give up on moving forward. There were somethings that were rotten about today, but I'll never let that ruin that perfect ending that I am currently working on.
