Through Heaven's Eyes
"A single thread in a tapestry-Though its color brightly shine-Can never see its purpose In the pattern of the grand design...
...So how can you see what your life is worth Or where your value lies?You can never see through the eyes of manYou must look at your life, Look at your life through heaven's eyes."
~from 'The Prince of Egypt'
with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
If you're interested in a religious/spiritual riff on this theme, check out my post on another blog, Learning to look at yourself through God's eyes
For Teachers
*here's one of the quotes I sent out to my friends last year. My intention is to post something once or twice a week, but there may be several posts today as I put up quotes or pictures like this.
Steep your Day in Love.
Start the day with Love.
Live the day with Love.
End the day with Love.!!
*This one was submitted by another teacher, but it makes total sense!
Live the day with Love.
End the day with Love.!!

About this blog
I'm a hs cheerleading coach. A couple of years ago it dawned on me that just like the student athletes on our sports teams, our faculty and staff need occasional encouragement and morale boosts too.
Last year I sporadically emailed pithy quotes and inspirational wisdom to my fellow teachers. They seemed to like it, they even dubbed me "Doctor Joy," their resident "Joyologist."
This year has somehow been so hectic that I haven't kept it up. Lately I've noticed that morale has once again been faltering. So, I've decided to establish this blog as a place to post the positive. Feel free to copy & paste so that you can forward, or click whatever buttons you need to "share" any of these anywhere you like (in the interest of full-disclosure, that's kind of how I find many of these anyway).
