Reminders From a Movie

     Often times my greatest inspiration comes from movies. I just recently saw "Mary Poppins Returns." In the movie Mary Poppins has returned to once again take care of the Banks children ( and not just the younger generation this time but the older as well). She has come to teach the new generation how to be children and the elder generation how to remember the wonder that life can hold.
     This movie served as a reminder that I need to be true to myself and remember the wonder that life still holds. As an adult I often get caught up in my duties and responsibilities that I forget to look for the wonder in life.
     A few months ago I embarked on a new journey in life. I moved 4.5 hours away from my home town to teach school in the town of Bradford PA. Being the new teacher in town I am naturally very cautious. I don't want to offend anyone by saying or doing the wrong thing. But perhaps in tying so hard to do my job right and make sure I dont mess up I have forgotten who I truly am. I have been so uptight and so afraid of messing up I've forgotten the kid in me. I've forgotten how to let loose in a good way and let people see who I really am. I need to just be me again and allow the playful child in me to come out again. It's time to forget about all the maybe's and the what if's and just live life to the fullest, and who knows what will happen. Perhaps i'll discover something wonderful and new about life just like the Banks children!
