5.6.2011 - huggi forever




imagine if denali and finula had babies... this would be one of them, but i think the seeming sanity in the photo would be deceptive.

i don't know how you get this blog to space out your pictures. it bothers me that you can figure this out and i can't, not because i think you incapable, but because i know you are not any more tech-savvy than i am.

i am getting so excited to come home, and so very ready for the school year to be done. at the same time, i am already thinking about next year and my goals for it. i wonder if i ever will feel like my teaching matches up with my intentions; i find it interesting that as i get older i don't mind spending excessive amounts of time on lessons because i can't think of any better use for my time. i wonder if i really do want to spend the rest of my life in this field, and if not, at what point would i leave it.

i envy your fresh start and your enthusiasm. those are great days - soak them up!!! i think there are few things in life like the prospect of a great and difficult task that may at last enable you to make a mark on the world. hmmm, this will be a good conversation when i at last get back to you; i've thought long and often lately about whether i am doing enough with this one life i have. i wonder if everyone thinks about such things on mornings when one wakes up and thinks, 'wait? is this my life? how did i get here? and is it where i want to be?' most of the time i wake with that question and respond with happy disbelief - my life is so much more than i expected.
but on other mornings, the question is more daunting. my life is good, but is it all that it should be?

sometimes i wish desperately for the unhampered optimism of childhood. maybe that's why i like kids so much. and speaking of kids, isn't my newest nephew adorable?
