Day 1 - Hello Blog

I used to be an excellent writer...exquisite perhaps.   I look back at college papers and I smirk at the brilliant vocabulary, complex sentence structure and deep meaning.  It's all freakin gone!  I have spend 10 years in a classroom hanging out with 10 year olds.. and the past 3 years with my 3 year old, which means I no longer possess a decent vocabulary and everything I say comes out like a run on sentence...but I have a lot to say!

As my pastor reminded me this morning at church, the momentum years are over and the day to day routine has set in.  It is very true.  The journey for me is no longer on the outside.   In my twenties I was so obsessed with finding the perfect soul mate, scoring the dream job and raising the most well rounded kid... my journey is now inside.  My biggest obstacle is myself.  Understanding my own purpose, dreams, desires, struggles and so forth.  This teacher feels like student right back at day 1.  So join me in an honest journey to be a student all over again.
