The past couple of years have been chalked full of new adventures in my life--new husband, new job, new town. I have pondered the idea of sharing my adventures, questions, opinions, etc. with the masses in a forum like this for a while, but convinced myself that no one would be interested and I would be writing to the void. Recently, I decided...so what! If the only person to see this is my husband (I believe that there was something about blogging in our wedding vows), then so be it. Writing is good, free medicine...and we all know how difficult that is to find. So, off I go. I don't have a specific "theme" for this blog...I imagine it will be somewhat of a Seinfeld of blogs...and I am ok with that. I will most likely share interesting classroom experiences, funny things about myself and the crazy questions I am constantly asking, and general observations of the world. About the title. I had many catchy blog title ideas...that others had apprently already come up with. So, I went to one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite people. Albert Einstein was one ridiculously intelligent and cooky dude...I like him...a lot. I love how he said what he thought and didn't worry so much about backlash. My favorite quote, listed below, is one that I have claimed as a teacher, but also applies to so many other aspects of life. I hope it speaks to you as it does to me...after all, do we really want fish in trees?
"Everyone is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will spend its whole life believing it is stupid." Albert Einstein
I'm already hooked on your blog. I used to have a blog, but didn't have the time to keep up with it. Good luck with it. I look forward to reading it often.
