rest, reflection, and reorganization

(I'm a sucker for alliterations)

rest
I don't get enough. During the week I take the time to do what I need to do: plan, grade, plan, plan, and plan. Usually this results in late nights, early mornings, and exhausting work days. I know I need to pause and rest. How can I take care of my students if I don't take care of myself? It's time to start a more sustainable routine. (Thank God for the snow day and sledding in Central Park!)

reflection
Keeping a journal is one of the few things I do for myself. Sadly, I'm seven months into my latest journal and haven't made a dent! The less I write, the more I internalize. I need to make a more conscious effort to save room for me.

reorganization
Confession: I was in a rut. I don't know how it happened, but it snuck up on me. Thank God for mid-winter break. My random week off last month (HOLY MOLY it's already March) was really refreshing. This Lenten season my hope is to make better choices to keep a sound body and a sound mind.
