a fighter

I'm a fighter for what is equality right, what is correct, what should be.

According to many people around me, fighting doesn't always make a difference and in some situations they say it is not worth it and you should just walk away, or deal with it.
But of course my fighter self says make it work, make it correct, what is equal and another part of me says it is hurting me so much to fight this fight.
When do you know enough is enough and your not going to change everything and to just walk away?
When do you know?

This Monday morning, I am hoping for a week with answers, some respect and some understand from the place I work. From the Headmaster.

I am grateful for...

me, age 4.

Another question, reflection from my CLF UU 'balance life' class is:
"Today I am grateful for...."
I've got a little book by the side of my bed and every night I start with that sentence and then finish the rest. Some nights are easier then others.
Try it.
It's pretty interesting.

Today, I'm grateful for International Children' Day.

Today was filled with children at school running around doing magic, drawing pictures, playing games and printing their hands on fabric.

The evening then was filled with a musical concert. Music of all kids and children of all ages. I was in this moment, present and a live. Living the beauty that was being performed before me. For those moments, and then it rippled off a bit, I felt fulfilled, grateful, and joyful.
I left the b.s. beside, backstage and enjoyed. I was filled with love, compassion, commitment.

It makes me think about when I was a child in school and loving some special events like ice cream socials. Not knowing that a lot of caos was most likely going on behind the scenes.
It makes me think about how these beautiful moment keep me going when behind the scenes it feels like a war. It is these moments that make me want to fight for this joy.

What are you grateful for this very day?
