Day 6

7/31/2022

Not much excitement today. I listened to podcasts and watched a whole season of a British TV show and I think I now have a British accent. Then I did laundry in the sink.

Today was the last day in July-- hard to imagine that back to school month is upon us. Our leadership retreat at school is in 10 days so I also have spent some time thinking about that today too. What an interesting gift to have a 10-day timeout before starting a new job (in person); a [forced] time of professional reflection. I am not good at meditating but this morning when I tried to sit quietly and let the thoughts flow in and out of my mind, I felt like I was visited (not in a spooky way) by my different mentors in schools. As soon as I thought of one, I thanked them and then another appeared in a thought cloud (is that how thoughts come into your mind?). It ended up being a parade of all of the people who have taught me how to be an educator and a leader. I am so grateful to each of them. 

Hope you had a nice day too.
