A very special teacher in a high school had a husband who died suddenly of a heart attack.
About a week after his death, she 1 some of her thoughts with a classroom of students. With a 2 look on her face, she paused and said, "Before class is 3, I would like to share with all of you a thought which I feel is very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves...and none of us knows 4 this fantastic experience will end. It can be 5 at any moment. Perhaps this is a 6 that we must make the most out of every single day."
Her eyes 7 to water, she went on, "So I would like you all to make me a promise...from now on,8 your way to school, or on your way home, find something 9 to notice. Those can be very little things, although it may sound silly to some people, these things are the stuff of life. We must make 10 important to notice them, for at any time...it can all be taken away. " The class was completely quiet. We all 11 our books and filed out of the room 12.
That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school 13 I had that whole semester.
Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and remember what an 14 she made on all us, and I try to appreciate all of those things 15 sometimes we all overlook.
