The Good I Ought to Do
I feel as if my first week of vacation has been successful in terms of doing the good I ought to do...
I feel as if my first week of vacation has been successful in terms of doing the good I ought to do...
- Reading--it is an unfortunate thing that English teachers do not have time to read for fun during the school year, but now I am enjoying Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (I know...I'm a nerd).
- Writing--again, I don't have nearly enough time to write during the school year. Now, I can enjoy writing in my journal, writing for fun, and even working on a few projects for possible publication...
- Spending time with friends and family--I always feel like a failure when it comes to friends and family. I never get to spend enough time with them! Last week I got to spend time with my grandparents in Mississippi. This week, I'm having office hours at the coffee shop to spend time with old friends I will miss when I move.
- Loving my husband--during the school year Adam took good care of me and the house when I had no time to think about helping with cooking or cleaning. Now I am enjoying taking care of Adam, helping him prepare for the church plant, and just spending time with him (without a stack of student papers in front of me).
There is so much more that I want and need to do this summer, but this feels like a pretty good start.
