Until last week I had never heard the word imperturbable. For those of you reading this who are in the same boat, I will give you a couple of definitions:
- unable to be upset or excited; calm
- marked by extreme calm, impassivity, and steadiness
I wish I could say that I am imperturbable, but I am not! On the contrary, I get easily wound up when I feel that something is “wrong.” Not surprisingly, once I get wound up, my brain shuts off & my mouth engages.
Now before you start quoting scripture to me like James 1:19-20 – “You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters . Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; for a man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness of God.”, please know that I am a work in progress. I have significantly improved in this area over the last few years.
Maybe someday I’ll be called imperturbable. But for now, I’ll continue to pray for self-control in ALL areas of my life

I have found my teacher word of the year: imperturbable. I’ve been less calm than I needed to be this week with my students. These next two days, and beyond, I will remember this word. Thank you, Barb. God Bless.

I’ve heard this word before but only from my grandmother who thought it was funny to say. I’ll bet it does score some big points in scrabble!
