I find myself doing this a lot these days. Smiling. Things aren’t always great, and sometimes I get stressed, but there’s always more to be grateful for than we realize.
The work notch is scaling up from time-for-contemplation to all-systems-go. In between marking essays and exams, learning for my own exams, and creating a crazy-cool curriculum for next semester, somehow I need to figure out what’s going on in education in South Africa – no mean feat I can promise you! And then there is this hovering sense of unknownness I can feel every now and then. I know it’s coming but have no idea what on earth it is.
Family reunion this weekend! Really, really looking forward to it!
