Want some honesty? I’m exhausted.
In the past month I have gone to ISTE, moved to a new state, unpacked and set up a new house, spent 2 weeks at NASA, and started my new job in a new school. I’ve felt stretched thin, yet inspired and invigorated. I’ve constantly thought about not having time and my hair has been sticking up a little crazier than normal. But life is not about having time, it’s about making time. I may be exhausted, but it feels like I am really doing something. I’m learning. I’m growing. I’m pouring myself into things that are important to me. It’s not really about a job. It’s about the kind of work that you love so much, it’s doesn’t feel like work. I hope that I am always lucky enough to do work that I love. I wish that for everyone. For the kids I have taught, for my colleagues around the world. It’s always about learning.
Want some more honesty? It’s all totally worth it.
DISCLAIMER: This was not some post to whine about how crazy busy I’ve been. I’m just hoping someone else who’s feeling stretched thin reads this and realizes that everyone has these days, weeks, or even months. And I hope you’ll realize that it’s worth it… or at least that you are not alone.
