Tuesday that Feels like Monday

Good Morning!

I almost missed writing this post because I thought it was Monday. No work yesterday because of Presidents' Day...well, no school because of the holiday. I was very productive this weekend (and that's not the norm)... 

 I did laundry.
I graded.
I wrote.
I planned.
I created.
I paid bills.
I read.
I saw a musical.
I took walks in the warm weather.
I enjoyed a leisurely cup of coffee.
I grocery shopped.
I cleaned...

 and now it's Tuesday. 
I hope you enjoyed your weekend and have a lovely Tuesday.

    We didn't have the day off, but next week is Mardi Gras break, so I'll enjoy a whole week off. Yay for days off!

    Starting on a Tuesday can be so confusing! Hope your shorter week is great after the productive start!

    Having a day off is nice and your day was similar to mine-laundry, cleaning, reading, writing. Now it's back to school and doing the teacher things that we do. Happy Tuesday, Michelle!

    That was my Monday, too - taking care of the necessaries of life!

    Every time my mom comes here she always says "It feels like a Saturday/Sunday, even though it's a ______." It's funny how a change in our routine can lead us to feel like our days are mixed-up.

    I put the trash out last night & wondered why no-one else did, until I realized they would be a day late because of the holiday. I saw you weren't feeling well on FB. Take good care, & hope it goes away soon!

    Your list is so much more impressive than mine... I'm trying to do all those things in the evenings this week because I played all weekend. My list would read something like : I slept in, I went to my favorite exercise class, I went out to lunch. I watched the men's lacrosse home opener, I shopped.... uh oh. Time to get productive!

    I love being productive--it's like a double bonus--you get the work done (relief!) and have the satisfaction of having done it. I'm just finishing a week of break which could not be accurately described, even by the wildest optimist, as "productive." Time to get to work!

Here I Am

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking for the past couple of days about this post...but I can't think of anything to write. Frozen in my failure, I want to quit, but I push through and show up here...even though it seems pointless. Who wants to read a blog post about nothing?  I begin to panic a bit...Have I "lost it"? My passion for blogging? My ability to blog? Why can't I think of something clever? What do I have to say that anyone will want to read? (By the way, I'd have all of these answers if it was you asking the questions!) Should I quit? Give up? Accept defeat? NO.  Instead, I show up.  Instead, I remember the words I said yesterday to my seventh-graders,  "Show up. It gets easier." Instead, I write and show grace to myself. Instead, I remember that blogging is a muscle that I haven't stretched in a while and I need to warm up, I need to take some deep breaths. Here I am. Showing up to the page. I'...

Someday...

Thank you to Stacey, Betsy, Dana, Tara, Beth, Anna, Kathleen & Deb for this amazing platform to write and share writing! What a wonderful community you've created! I'm honored to be part of it. Join us at Two Writing Teachers . Do you have dreams? Kids are good at dreaming. I find many adults struggle with it. Speaking for myself, I get so caught up in the everyday drudgery of life, that dreams get nudged aside until they disappear.  It's important to have dreams. I've been writing about my dreams in my notebook and so I thought I'd share my dreams here... 1. Writing a book.  While I'd love to get a book published, my dream is to write a book...to complete the act of writing it.  I've started on this dream and it's hard and challenging and exciting and amazing.  2. Living at the beach.    I love the water, the waves, the ocean smell, the seafood, the sand...all of it! The Outer Banks is my favorite place in the...

Chasing My Dream

I'm doing it. I'm chasing my dream. I've always wanted to run writing retreats and workshops for people, but I've always been too scared to do anything about it...until now. I don't know what's changed...maybe I've changed. I'm not allowing the fear to stop me anymore. I've started Selah Writing Retreats.  The past couple of weeks I've been getting the business end in order. I thought I would hate that...I don't. It's scary, but I am surprising myself with how efficient I am. Yesterday I went to a bank to set up a bank account. The woman I met with was kind and helpful and so enthusiastic about my dream. My website is set up. I've done lots of work on it. I hope you stop by and let me know what you think. It's  selahwritingretreats.com . Balancing creative with business has been challenging but fun. Creating the website, getting a federal tax id, making business cards, planning dates... My favorite voxer group is called Butt Ki...
