5 Principles of Reiki
Just for today, I will not worry
Just for today, I will not be angry
Just for today, I will do my work honestly
Just for today, I will be kind to all living things
Just for today, I will be grateful for my many blessings
This morning, as I savour my first coffee of the day, I prepare for work after two months of summer break.
This year, my return to work is starting at a new school.
I’ve moved on from junior high to high school.
I’ve been nervous. This reflected in the numerous cold sores I have as a result of high levels of stress.
I’m shaking my head, laughing as I think my first impression to others will be the new woman with facial herpes spread across her upper lip.
Great!
On the brighter side, I have until Thursday for these ugly things to heal.
That’s when students return.
By then they should have scabs on them.
Fantastic!
Ah well, they will eventually heal and I have a funny story about my first day/week with facial herpes at a new school!

Yes, you’ll look back on this week and laugh and wonder what you were so nervous about. Good luck at the new school.
Thanks Valerie! 🌻😊
