Anticipation

It is a good thing when you can feel anticipation rather than dread about your vocation. I have rested this summer. I have almost unplugged. I miss my students and my friends. I miss the routine and structure that allows me to have some form of self-discipline. I miss the fragrance of my classroom, the aromas of the Cafe, and even the smell of the hallways during passing period. The thing is and remains…I love my job…and I can’t do it when school is out.

So. I am listening to my body, resting when I need to, reading for pleasure, dancing a little, back on the IF wagon…it is not time to go back yet, but I do feel a tiny tingle when I think of going back at the end of the month.

I hope that whatever it is you spend your day doing that you have an enthusiasm for it.
