Monday's gem:

Got a very pleasant "I'm glad to see you" vibe this morning before the beginning of 1st period as my students sauntered in (and lo, how they sauntered!) after this very long weekend.

I'm not asking to be adored, popular, missed... No, no. It was just a lovely feeling -- to see those faces and those smiles, to hear random tidbits in English and Spanish about the food, family and friends that filled up their weekends. To joke, to laugh, to inquire. And to have them ask about mine. It was just one tiny, glimmering moment of caring in the classroom.
