Be Kind

Work was draining today.  There are just a few days left and it is hard to have the energy when normally that energy comes from working with students.  Each meet that I am on I wonder if it is the last time I might see some of the students before fall.  Should I be wishing the students a happy summer or just a good day?  The next few days the teachers have come up with alternate activities to serve as a field day of sorts.  That and finishing up incomplete work is all the students have left.  

My body aches still from all the walking over the weekend.  I ended up falling asleep this afternoon instead of doing any walking or other exercise.  After talking with the family there are at least four of us that are going to start exercising together tomorrow.  Hopefully this will create a nice support system and we will all reach some goals.  

During and after dinner tonight we had a long family meeting.  We discussed things that need to be done and ways to do them.  We worked out a plan for a fire drill.  We went over our current levels of comfort for when we see people from outside our family unit.  There has been a bit of visiting lately and it became a bit overwhelming for us all.  There was also a brief emotional check in.  It was a fairly intense time.  It was also very productive and is my happy for today for that reason.   

More irises have opened.

Be kind to yourself.
