It’s been almost two months since my last post. School might’ve ended, but that just means that work as a new teacher just began! There’s been trainings, cleaning, organizing, decorating, more training, buying of those things I need (there’s a lot of that)…and that’s just job-related.

Then there are the Church-related and family-related aspects of my life. We’re talking time-consuming calling (I’m not complaining) and lots of housesitting and babysitting and family in town and etc. and etc.

I’ve finally reached a resting place. I mean, I still have books to read for school and housesitting and babysitting to do, but everything else is done or up-to-date. So I’m taking blogging off the back burner. I had so many ideas for blogging during my summer break, but it didn’t turn out how I was hoping. Best laid plans and all that. I wonder why we always plan for perfection when things so often come out short or go awry?

So this is just a shout out to all ya’ll. I’m here, I’m still alive, and I’ll get back to you soon.

Choose Joy.
