Daughter, crying
Mom, sleeping
Family, worrying - traveling
Twin, passing
Sister, mourning

Since April is National Poetry Month, my students and I have been writing poetry. Thank you, Kwame Alexander, for inspiring the format of my poem. #verselove2019 #poetry
In the novel Someone Else's Shoes by Jojo Moyes, the psychologist tells Phil that when people are at their lowest, they often look at things through a glass of negativity. That hit home with me. How many times do I do this? How do I make it stop? Or better yet, how to I notice it and keep myself from going down that negativity hole?
Just yesterday, I was thinking to myself, "How can I be surrounded by people and feel lonely?" Today, I am going to make myself reach out even more with people. Make myself be seen so I can battle that feeling of loneliness.
One step at a time, right?
