To show appreciation is sometimes an action which we take for granted and occasionally we find people who show their appreciation in different ways.
This week I have really appreciated the respect and understanding parents have offered me at school.
With colds and bugs going around, parent interviews, open days and the general day to day grind, I am running on fumes in desperate need for a top up of fuel. Those kind words of encouragement and appreciation have given me the boost to see the week through. From comments on their children's schooling, kindly asking "how are you?" and an understanding of just how stressful a week like this is.
One parent marched in once all the children had departed, turned the kettle on and made me a coffee at the end of the day. It's these acts of kindness that help everyone, everyday...especially on those tough days.
Time to recharge my batteries ready for Friday.
