Two seemingly contradictory truths can both be true . . . at the same time. Here's how:
Recently, I applied for, interviewed, was offered, and accepted a new position as North Middle School Principal! And I am so incredibly excited.
I am also deeply sad.
Knowing so, my wife sent me a text that, I believe, throws Galileo’s simple theory out the window. She wrote, "I'm sorry there is a lot of sour with the sweet." And that is exactly right. Although I am excited for this new position, by no means am I excited to leave my current one.
I love my school. The students, the community, and the teachers. We have worked hard together, grown immensely, and have truly done some GREAT things!
Yet, I am ready and eager to join this new school, work through the challenges, and celebrate the victories.

And I cannot explain how and why that is true. But it is.
And that is more than okay, it’s perfect. Because it is fully human! And what a conundrum we are.
That’s what I’ve been thinking about this week.
