Thoughts about Enduring

I have had to work through a lot of negative emotions in my teaching. Covid-19 has thrown us all for a loop here at school. I felt completely overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work that is being required of  me right now. There feels like too much to do and definitely not enough time. I have felt anger for the unfairness of the situation. I have felt frustrated that none of my efforts to alleviate the problem were working. And I have felt very sorry for myself. The intersting thing to note is that none of these emotions have led to solutions or positive outcomes. So here is a new set of thoughts I have been trying to adopt: *Yes, this is hard, but "this too, shall pass". *I have enough time to do everything that is needed. *Look for the positive and highlight it. *Reach out to the one. *Knock, ask, seek. Heavenly Father is there to help. Solutions are available if you reach out to Him and listen. *Be of good cheer! My mind continues to want to go down the road of despair and
