Good morning! And what a good night.

I had such a fantastic day yesterday! When I got home from work (oh yea, and the dentist) I did not sit down. Sitting down, or really – it’s the removal of the shoes – just tells my body and mind ” ok, you’re home, shut down and rest”. This really happens on my daysContinue reading “Good morning!

A New Day…Everyday

Life challenges us; we all know that. Sometimes I forget to be grateful for this life I have. I focus on the things that bring me worry and anxiety and the big one – FEAR. Let’s name it.

Covid-19 forced the teachers to remove all non-standard seating in our high school and go back to boring, impersonal, 100-year-old rows of desks. I kept the items of comfortable seating in a room close to mine that was onceContinue reading “The end of an era, a bit of acceptance, and a new beginning.”
