A Pause for a Breath

Picture yourself running with all you've got. Now imagine that you've reached the end of the run, and you're standing there trying to catch your breath and trying to find a place to sit and rest for a minute to recover.

It's been a while since I posted, but since then I've made it through the last legs of a race, took time to catch my breath, and have mostly recovered. The month of May was filled with the ending of my first year of teaching, a trip to MN, enjoying some time doing nothing, and company coming into town. There were many wonderful opportunities to rest a little after a rapid race that went on since...well, I guess it feels like it was that way since before I moved. 

This is the very first true summer break in a few years...no classes to take, no moving...and it's glorious so far. 

Things on the agenda for this summer include: 

- Traveling to places near and far. 

- Adventuring. 

- Bike riding. LOTS. 

- Photography work. 

- Creating things. 

- Revamping classroom things/lessons. 

- Catching up with many people whom it's been WAY TOO LONG since I've gotten to talk to. 

Goodness, I'm excited...
