so far

I am so sorry that my last post was so negative. For some reason, I have been pretty down, and I can't figure why. I have a really great life, full of amazing friends and family, and I have a job that I love, most of the time.

So this year has proven to be a balancing act, yet again. Second year teaching is a bit better than year one, but I still have a lot of work to do. I've had those moments where I want to scream, but definitely nothing too bad.

I am trying to be more active, which is a challenge with teaching homebound, I went to the gym last weekend and realize that I needed a new ipod, so ordered an ipod touch on thanksgiving. I get kind of nervous when I spend that kind of money, but I'm hoping it will inspire me to go to the gym more often... we shall see..

Thanksgiving was pretty cool - because Dad couldn't book our usual room for the feast, we moved the fam thanksgiving to saturday. I went to Steve's to hang and chow there, and it was a lot of fun. We rocked, of course.

Thinking about events around Thanksgiving, I've realized how much has changed. I like to think that I appreciate change, but there are some things that I just have a hard time coping with - relationships change, and families even change from time to time. I'm looking for the strength and wisdom to accept these inevitable changes and, if possible, learn from them.
