Hi, Cathy:  Welcome to the group!  I'm glad to meet you, especially since you are a teacher.  Even though you aren't teaching now, you're still a teacher.  I, too, am a former teacher, and I miss it very much.  Nearly 30 years ago, after just 11 years of teaching third grade, I decided to move to Virginia (from Connecticut) to live near my sister.  The problem was that I didn't apply for a new position to go to!  I thought that I could find another teaching position easily, like when I got my first job.  Boy, was I wrong!!  The years flew by quickly, and I had to settle for substitute teaching.  I became disabled with arthritis and obesity, so had to quit that.  But, teaching is still in  mmy blood.  I hope you enjoy this group, and that we get to know you better!     Love and peace,  Janna  |

Hi, Cathy:  I'm very sorry!  You didn't say that you aren't a teacher now.  That was very careless of me.  Please forgive me.     Love and peace,  Janna  |
