Being positive is what I have to be. Sometimes I am positive that I am pretending. Not because I want to pretend, but because I become overwhelmed. It comes over me like a giant wave. For example: I opened a website on Jamestown today to show my students. That shouldn’t cause emotion. Wrong. I fought tears the entire time. Not only because Jamestown and Williamsburg were “our” place but because I hadn’t had that website open since I lived in Virginia…in our home. So sometimes, the positive smile is just me trying to hold on to who I know I can be. (Someday)
