deery-lou.
well, i survived week one of kindergarten. by the end of the week i was completely exhausted. way too much teaching. especially since i'm covering over at the junior school as well. my throat is pretty much spent from talking/yelling so much. saturday was my last day of privates. they decided to stop them. i'm gonna miss the extra money but am quite glad to have my weekends back. after class on saturday i spent the day in bed watching tv and napping. i felt much better this morning. i actually got some things done like cleaning my apartment which looked like a tornado had struck it. will be meeting up with daniel a little later which will be nice. since i don't really have much to post i thought i'd share a little something with my peeps in cyberspace. this is something i wrote while on the plane heading to florida for bonnie's funeral back in 2001.

looking down on mother earth
i saw a sight that moved me so
the red clay ground filled with black masses of water.
a perfect rainbow followed my path leaving me breathless
i flew many times before but never had it
affected me as it had today.
the complexities of life now seemed so trite
the untouched ground below me
calling for me to come touch it.
i stared for hours
looking out at this vest land
wanting to be lost.
to forget all that has happened
yearning to be untouched, natural, and lost
like that of a child who is experiencing life for the first time.
never had i enjoyed such a site as this
some 30,000 feet above
realizing just how beautiful this land of ours is.
stay gold & be well…
