Inspirational quotes, US Teacher Appreciation Week

I was blessed to have several incredible teachers during my childhood, but it was only as an adult that I realized how underappreciated they are. In honor of these tireless workers who take joy in passing their knowledge onto young inquisitive minds I’m sharing the following quotes. And for those of you who are teachers I’d like to say thank you.

Thank you for working long hours.

Thank you for working for not enough pay.

Thank you for buying supplies for your classrooms and students out of your own paycheck.

Thank you for not giving up despite increasing demands from parents and society. 

Thank you for inspiring us to be the very best we can be!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Google Doodle, Inspirational quotes

Although bestselling author Gabriel Garcia Marquez passed in 2014, today, on what would have been his 91st birthday, Google has created this gorgeous doodle to honor the “Master of Magical Realism”.

I just had to find a special quote of his, and after looking long and hard, this particular one stood out to me. I hope you all like it.

It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.
