Late to the Blogosphere; Struggled mightily with just the title

Here's the background for my blog title that's still a bit cringeworthy:

Middle School Teacher

Middle Child

Midwesterner

Middle Path, The (occasional student of)

Middle (often find myself stuck in the)

Middle Ground (hopeful searcher for)

First lesson: blogging is a painful exercise. How do all you bloggers do this all the time? I prefer the pain of a 3 mile run in low double-digit weather to this! The very act of starting a blog has caused brain contortions. I should have labored over a title well in advance of blocking time to get this started. All the good, safe, plain-Jane, basic titles are taken!

Personal Teaching Constitutional Law #1: I will not expect my students to accomplish something in their work for my class that I haven't attempted myself. That's my commitment here. They are curious about blogging. So here I am.

I realize that's not a very compelling justification for adding my words to the blogosphere, but I hope this little seed idea about how we might connect the "middles" in life generates some interest.

And as usual, I'm in between worlds--in this case work and home. I must cut this first post short. (Bet you're all pretty thankful for that, too!)

Thank you for coming along on this journey with me.
