I finally- FINALLY- don't have that constant sense that I'm going to drown under my work demands. Don't get me wrong, I still have plenty of stuff that I need to get done by the end of the month. I'm just done feeling like the weight of it is pushing me under (and none of it is due in the next 48 hours!). I may even take all day on Sunday off from work. No, really, stop laughing. I'm going to try! I also have designs on finishing that 45 X 45 list I'm working on. It needs 20 more items, ideas welcome.
Today I am trusting that I'll be able to lean into rest this weekend. It's overdue, and it's also needed before the 3-day next weekend. Yes, the 3-day is an amazing amount of fun. It is also exhausting, and I would prefer not to be pre-exhausted.
Today I am grateful to have come through the past month mostly gracefully. I won't say it was perfect, but it wasn't bad- and somehow I magically ended up exactly where I was supposed to be exactly when I was supposed to be there.
Today I am inspired by many of the conversations I've been having the last week, mostly with my students (from whom I am learning more than I can recount). Even when these education things exhaust me, what I end up getting is so much more than what I put into it.
