| Notice the look of contentment! |
On the way home I followed-up on some business- filling the car with gas, shopping for a gifts for a special someone, stopping for a haircut at First Choice, renewing my drivers licence and health card, and mailing the final few Christmas cards.
Upon my return home I checked emails, registered for a math workshop, and received two phone calls from my husband, requesting me to run two errands. The two dogs needed some attention, so I loaded them in the car and we drove off to the nearby town to shop.
While in the grocery store I recognised two students from two different occasional teaching jobs. This was the first such experience in my new role. As I drove back home from the grocery store I thought to myself, This has been a successful day- I am feeling balanced- I am content.
The day did not stop there. There was a text from our daughter-in-law wanting to Skype at 7:00 pm, two phone calls from our daughter in Scotland, a call from a neighbour, and two important telephone messages. In the meantime the two dogs went for a romp in the front yard and only one returned, so I took a flashlight outside in search of her whereabouts.
At 7:45 pm, I called the neighbours, to let them know that I could look after their daughter on Thursday (their daycare had to close due to illness). However, in the middle of that conversation, I received a call to teach for the whole day on Thursday.
So now, I am awake at 2:00 am, reflecting on yesterday and hoping to be able to get back to sleep in preparation for tomorrow's skating field trip with a primary class! Life is good!
Until tomorrow,
Bee Rich
