Sometimes things just don't go the way you hoped they would. Whether it's your last week of student teaching, your teenager's behavior, or something as small as a random craft project...
These jars were going to be replacements for last year's backyard candle holders that are looking a little worse for wear. They were supposed to be color-blocked perfection...instead they are streaky and have borders that the painters tape decided to rip away when it came off the finished project.
But with these silly painted jars I am going to try to make the best of it, just like the challenges of a tough master teacher who has told me we will see if my last lecture tomorrow shows "growth" before she can give her endorsement to the department chair or a disastrously grumpy McIntosh who has not slept through the night since Thursday due to the electronic baby he had to care for as a school assignment. I will try to not obsess when things are far from perfect...focus on the positive...and do the best I can.
