Sending out what might be my final tweet… if I can’t get the two-factor authentication to work… using the app bc I’m logged out on my 💻. I’d miss the connections, but it could also be a sign that it’s time. 🤗💙.Just email me if you need me.

We watch this on Christmas Eve. Every year. (And sometimes, during a school year when a parent is upset with me, Hubby wants to be Mr. Welch. 😳).Best holiday movie? IMHO - this one.

". We can do better to refine and support our existing policies. We are committed to supporting all our students, particularly vulnerable populations.".
This (see article below) is one of those things that makes my blood run cold in fear and worry for our democracy, students, and our future as a society. For reasons they thought were legitimate but should frighten every one of us, the police in Massachusetts interrupted classes.

This #ThankfulThursday, I'm grateful to have opportunities to learn more about the Constitution, for having will power to not look at what's "trending," to have a hot breakfast this AM, orange juice w/o pulp, and to have fun with a silly sweater & TikTok + a clip from The Office.

I wouldn't choose the word "outperforms," even if it may be true in some cases. I'd choose something along the lines of "enjoys life more," or "handles setbacks better." In THINK AGAIN, I read that we're most likely wrong 50% when discussing ideas. I choose to learn from others.
Over time, the person who approaches life with an openness to being wrong and a willingness to learn outperforms the person who doesn’t.
