getting closer

bittersweet days of late as i finish up a life-long career. a friend tells me i am milking it, taking too much time to finish up and get out. perhaps he's right - but i like the slow, deliberate pace, the empty spaces, the quiet reflecting, the reminiscing and remembering that goes along with all the sorting and packing. so many years. so many kids. so many memories. oh - and sooo much stuff! but more about that in another post...

I need a day to just walk around somewhere lovely and take serene photos like this one. No rushing, no talking, no sounds. In my next life, maybe...

~she~: i hear you! this photo has nothing at all to do with the stress i feel in getting everything done that needs doing - but i just liked the peaceful feeling it evoked, so i used it!

Maybe part of your unwinding can include sharing with us some of your favorite/funniest moments as a teacher.
