After two weeks of steady working among papers and going through stuffs in the school closets. I am as organized as I like to be before school starts.

I think I managed to do almost all the things I wanted to do this summer - playing, resting, gardening, entertaining etc., except my Montessori work albums. I hope I will have more time to work on them during the school year.

As I passed the 60s milestone. I realize my body does not allow me to do as much as I used to.
I have to be more selective with my activities. This requires wisdom to discern. Drawing closer to God sure helps. His agenda for me is way more easy to me than the agenda I had for myself and I feel all along he is planning for me. Now, I engage myself in activities that are more productive and meaningful which in return bring me more satisfaction. And I am away from things and people who kept me busy for nothing.

Few year ago, another Montessori personel came into Sunshine Hills to open her school. She was pretty huffy because she is from one of the best training centre for Montessorians and she vowed to deliver a flyer of her school to every families in Sunshine Hills. She came to visit my school and didn't think much of it. I went to visit her school, it was instored with all the high quality equitments you can possibly name. The room was newly renovated and modern. I thought to myself, if I remain open a few years down the road, it has to be God's doing.

It has been 5 or 6 years from the first time I met her. I am still here. The last thing about her I heard from other parents is - she is expecting to close her school this year. All these years, I have a tremendous sense of peace. I know God sent me the families or he rejected certain ones for me. I have so much less anxiety. This year, my school is filled to the brim in September. Thank you, Jesus!
