I started dancing again : )
It counts.
I can tell a difference in my mindset at work and at home.
I take class 3 times a week, sometimes for more than 3 hours at a time. It just feels nice to be DOING something again : )

WOO-HOO! I’m in the middle of a two week Beginning ASL class! I have really enjoyed it and the class has given me a better understanding of deaf culture and ASL pragmatics, semantics and syntax. I’m looking forward to signing with some of my students in the fall… I think it will help them and me, too, to get more acclimated to our classroom environment. Plus, I’ll get to take the second course in the fall!
but it hasn’t been..
in fact..
there’s been so much to be happy about lately
that i haven’t been writing it..
i’ve been in the middle of it.
which certainly is not a complaint.
So…
here are some new things that i have thoroughly realized (once again, in some cases) make me happy…..
~ michael.
~ teaching little kids
~ autonomy v. interdependence
~ thunderstorms
~ books…lots of them.
~ snapdragons & gerber daisies
~ God’s idea of Jubilee
~ clementines
