With 30 minutes or so left before all the end of year festivities start, I wanted to reflect on all the good and not so good that's happened this year. I've done it in prior blog posts but I am doing it personally. As Carrie and I helped sing a farewell song to one of our dear members of the co-curricular team, I thought about all the changes that will be coming.
She will be gone, as will the head of Early Childhood. One of my friends in upper school will also be gone, but I will see him over Summer on the Hill. Who knows who else will be gone this fall, making searching for those friendly faces an exercise in pushing through sad feelings and accepting those new folks that will make the next year different. Different isn't always bad and I think, personally, people are used to thinking it is.
Summer will be a time of growth and reflection. I plan on going to a book repair class, as well as read, read, read. My own school load has kept me from enjoying reading this year and that's about to change. I'm going to try to squeeze in as much "me" time as possible.
I hope everyone who works at a school had a good year and is ready for time to reflect, think, and grow this summer. I definitely am.
