About Me

My Photo
Kansas City, Missouri, United States
Last August, I turned 46. I am in the middle of my life's book. If I live to be 92, I am halfway done, and I find that truth to be highly motivating (there's so much more I want to do and accomplish!). However, I'm also feeling cranky: My children are all single, I don't have any grandbabies, I'm fat; I'm not publishing; I'm not teaching. What's the deal?

School's out

Whew! Another school year has come and gone, and I gotta say: Amen!
By late-May, I am exhausted at every level possible: mentally, physically, socially, even spiritually. Lately, no thought has come in solitude; I've been pulled in 99 different directions.
And I can't breeze right now into the summer holiday, as I still have four assignments remaining in my Project EXCELL class (I'm studying to become an ELL ... English Language Learner ... teacher!) The drop-dead due date for the lesson plans/reading responses is Tuesday, May 26.
But I'm back to this blog, which makes me sublimely happy, as I've missed writing --and reading -- others' writing.
Ah, sweet, sweet summer!

"The summer's flower is to the summer sweet." (Shakespeare, Sonnet 94)

I'm so glad that you are back with us! I've missed you, and thought of you often.

I look forward to hearing about your summer bliss . . .

Hey, Kate ~

Oh, it's wonderful to hear your voice again - I have so missed your wise and witty posts!

Hoping the summer brings enough solitude for you to share your musings with us more often - if not, at least make sure you get your own needs met... :-)
