so, let's think about it as a transformation, a continuation, a new opportunity. I've understood that age makes the change unbearable and desired at the same time. I know it seems a contradiction, but this is how I feel. There is no reason for not meeting again at work or at amusement.For me, this experience has been totally new and refreshing. I've learned a lot and the only thing I'm not happy is the lack of collaboration among certain partners but once again, this is something we must get used to if we accept the challenge of working in collaboration. My congratulations again!
This is a follow-up: As I arrived at school today, the mother of one of the kids in the project was waiting for me with a huge bunch of flowers, to apologize for not attending the project presentation tomorrow and to congratulate me for the project. She said she had closely watched the project grow and she loved it, she had intended to comment on some of the posts, but her son had not allowed her to- it is kids' project, he told her. :) From the way she mentioned blog materials it was obvious she was really familiar with it, as well as Flashmeetings etc. You can imagine how I felt. It's not something that happens every day- at least, not here.
You must be proud of your work and a mother's compliment and interest shows how good it is. No doubt the presentation will be a success, whatever the technical problems may be. Now, something to laugh about. yesterday afternnon I went to Madrid to help Adela buy glasses and I fell down in the street. Nothing serious, just ugly bruises on the elbow and the knee and a swollen foot. But I fell all my bones today. Getting old is dangerous!
But, you are OK, right? Glasses, bones and all? I agree, growing old should be forbidden. But, you are just tired. The presentation to parents was more than successful, they hardly breathed for a whole hour- parents and kids. They all want another project now, and the students who did not take part want in as well. I doubt both. My assistant principal was there and she loved it. I'll post something in ATOM a bit later. I want to spend as much time as possible with my family this week-end. As for obstacles, someone just sent me a message saying: stop waiting for obstacles to end in order for your real life to start- they ARE life. And it's true. Have a nice week-end. Hugs.
I am so tired and preoccupied myself that I almost get hit by a car every other day. Just "almost", until now, fortunately. And as my grandma (a tough lady she was- could the cause have been her name?) used to say: "almost is not good enough",she especially used that for my complains. I complain a lot, as you already know! :) Bye.
I don't like changes, I don't like endings.

Right now, I feel like Pythagoras' cup after having been filled too much. But, we have to go on, don't we?
Thanks for all the kind words!
