sick day


i am home sick for the second day in a row. the doc says bronchitis, laryngitis, and a sinus infection. i am quickly thinking that i could take this whole "not working thing" on...i am not bored one bit. between blowing my nose and taking the 2 inhalers i was prescribed life is good.

all this alone time has brought me to some moments of "deep," as "deep" as i get, reflection. why am i racing though this world?

i am a teacher. 24 3rd graders. great coworkers. wonderful principal.

i am a coach. 71 athletes. more parents.

i manage a swim lesson program. one supervisor. tons of little kids. more parents.

so in the midst of all this giving. i feel lost and tired. i love the all parts of my life ...with many moments of little joys. but have not taken the opportunity to enjoy any which one of them...because i am always racing off to the next. so is my task- learn to enjoy moments.

revel in the simple.
