We’ve got FIVE incredible co-hosts My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and me for another Fit Five Friday link-up! This week’s topic is “5 words to describe yourself”. Feel free to write about this or any fitness topic you’d like.
This is a fun topic. I’ve written two posts about this topic: Here and here. The words I’ve chosen before are: Introverted, proactive, independent, hardworking, beautiful, bilingual, emotional, dependable, responsible, and strong.
This is what I came up with this year:
Passionate
Despite how much I complain about my job, I am still passionate about it. I care deeply about my students. I want the best for them. I always look for resources for my students to help them with reading, writing, math, etc.
Intelligent
No further explanation is needed. 😊
Positive
I may not always have a positive outlook about life, but I see the best in people. I know there is good in everyone. Well, almost everyone.
Punctual
I hate being late. I am rarely late for work. If you tell me to meet you at 1 pm, then that is the time I will meet up with you. The whole “Mexican time” drives me crazy – 4 pm does not mean 5 or 6 pm.
Grateful
I have my good and bad days. No matter what happens, I am always grateful for my job, my family, and my health. I always feel very lucky for having those things in life. Whenever I have a day when I am feeling down, I think about the things I do have and sometimes it makes me feel better.
The topic for next week: Favorite recipe with 5 ingredients. We hope you’ll link up with us!

All great qualities. I do hate lateness too. But it is so common.
I think I need to be more positive. I do try.
·
Being positive is not easy but it can be done.
·
Those definitely fit what I know about you! For me… enthusiastic, energetic, dedicated, loyal and maybe cynical/sarcastic b/c I’m that, too!
·
Thanks so much Erica!
·
I can definitely tell you’re passionate about your job! And I love how one of your previous words was “beautiful.” Why do we shy away from using that word about ourselves??? And, “grateful” is a great word to choose.
·
I know what you mean. We will never pick “beautiful” for ourselves but will do it for someone else.
·
Those are great words, Zenaida. There are words we all could draw inspiration from 😉
·
Thank you!
·
I know how challenging your job can be but it’s great that you still feel passionate about it! Your students are lucky to have a teacher who cares so much about them.
·
Thank you! I am trying to stay focus and keep showing up for work. These past few weeks have been very challenging. My coworker told me that I need to take a few days off just for me so I can relax.
·
I love all these words! Punctual is a good one. I love how your love for teaching comes through in almost everything you do, even when it’s hard. <3

It’s been a rough year but I am hanging in there!

I’m trying to cultivate more gratitude. My dog has lymphoma, and I want to be grateful for every day we have together, instead of stressed and worried. I don’t know how well I will be able to manage it, but I’m working on it.
My dad kept a card in his pocket regarding gratitude, to help him when he needed it. It is a quote by Henri Nouwen:
“The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy.”

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about your dog! Hugs to you. That is a great quote and very true!
