Learning New Things….

For as long as I can remember, I didn’t dream too often, and when I did, it would be about work, teaching, the days I was living. It happened last night. I was teaching classes in my dreams, feeling all of the ups and downs of that. That is how life is. I woke up grateful for today, but always missing the wonderful people that I have gotten to know over the years. I hope if you are reading this today that you are maneuvering the Ups and Downs of life the best you are able. I read all of the comments and won’t ever post unless it is general to everyone. Check in anytime.

Back to 2020

I often think about the Covid shutdowns. As a teacher it was awful. I missed teaching in person. I miss it now. People had real tragedies they were dealing with, so I realize my situation was hardly worth mentioning. One thing helped, a lot. I made videos with our then 17 year old, totally blind cat Callie, who we nicknamed Bun-Bun. I looked forward to it and loved those moments. That dear cat died a few months later. I stumbled across these videos recently and they made me smile. Pets help.

Great Memories

We have been on the road to start the summer, with a lot of time to think and reflect. I am excited to spend more time working on this little blog site. I am also so grateful for all of the well wishes and kindnesses to close out the school year and that chapter of my life. It was overwhelming but so appreciated. Today would have marked day 1 of a favorite tradition of mine, Summer Strings. I will always miss every part of camp week and the excitement and enthusiasm it always brought. Anyone who is reading this, if you were ever a part of camp week, thank you. You are why it happened all these years. More down the road soon. Gratefully….
