1.I was sitting in my grandpa's oak chair having coffee when a text message from a former colleague woke me from my daydreams.
"Do you want to pick up your rocking chair?"
For 17 years,I taught grade one and two,and my dreams as a teacher were tied to that rocking chair.It was a magical idea to have it in my class.Every day after breaks,the class would gather around and listen to the story I was reading.When the kids were close,they found the courage to share their stories,dreams and fears.The chair was part of my job,part of me.
Unfortunately,I became unwell and couldn't keep teaching.I experienced severe depression and anxiety and was forced to leave the job.With my life as a teacher over,I needed a new path.And I didn't have to look far.
My husband and I adopted one of my former students in 2017.The complexity of parenting a child who came to us at 9 years old changed our lives in unexpected ways.It called on the part of me that learns to be a good mother.We spent countless hours snuggling up (依偎)with books — healing,bonding and solidifying our family.This gave me a new purpose.
I joined a support group of local moms.For about a year,I met with them weekly for walks or coffee.We came together to share.Then I started giving and receiving help.I gave driving practice to a single mom with her learner's license and received emotional support in return.I also took her son on hikes around the city.Another woman encouraged me to buy a stand-up board and gave me lessons on surfing.
My family,my books,finding a new purpose and belonging in a community — these are fulfilling the sense of self I used to prize as a teacher.I learned my identity doesn't need to change.I'm still honoring those core values whether or not I'm working as a teacher.

25.Prissy Baker was in Oscar Miller's store New Year's morning when her uncle,Richard Baker,a bachelor,came in.He did not look at Prissy,nor did she wish him a happy New Year.Uncle Richard had not been on speaking terms with her or her father for eight years.When she had been a little girl they had been great friends;but that was before the quarrel.
When Prissy had been nine years old,Richard and Irving Baker had quarreled over the division of a piece of property.The fault had been mainly on Richard's side,and that very fact made him all the more stubborn.He had never spoken to his brother since,and he declared he never would.Prissy and her father felt very badly over it,but Uncle Richard seemed to have completely forgotten them.
Richard told Mr.Miller that he was on business but that he didn't like it."Well,I always like a good dinner on New Year's," said Richard. "It's about the only way I can celebrate.I got everything ready last night,but I won't get back before one o'clock,so I think I'll have to put up with a cold bite."
After Richard had driven away,Prissy walked thoughtfully home.She had planned to spend a holiday with a new book.She did not even mean to cook dinner,for her father had had to go to the town that morning and would be gone the whole day.There was nobody else to cook dinner for.Prissy's mother had died long ago.
Suddenly an idea popped into Prissy's head.Dared she?Oh,she never could!But he would never know.There would be plenty of time!
Prissy had no trouble breaking into Uncle Richard's house,for the woodshed door was unfastened.She tripped into the kitchen with rosy cheeks and mischief sparkling in her eyes.In a short time,the kitchen was full of appetizing odors.As the clock struck twelve,Prissy had the table set.
Prissy was about to slip away when the door was pushed open.
___________________
When the meal was over,he talked to Prissy kindly and politely.
