Coming to grips with reality

I have spent my last 4 months under a rock deeply wedged under more rocks inside a large cavern. Underwater. So everything that does reach me can only be acted out in charades by another human as lost in out-of-the-loop-ness like me.

In those 4 months, I have learned countless life lessons, had many happy memories, have experienced some things that I wish I could un-do or un-see and have had many laughs and a couple tears along the way too.

My last 4 months and all that happened therein will come to an end in 6 more days. I have been a student teacher. Band. Middle school. (wow, I just felt a huge wave of pity rush over me just now!). I will have 6 more days in front of these students and I never thought the end would come. I hope that at the end of this whirlwind I can swim back to the surface for air before running out of air or developing the bends...

I am reflecting, gathering and soaking everything and everything I can in this final week...I am one lucky gal to have enjoyed student teaching as much as I have!

All my love.
