Anyone who has ever travelled to teach or take a class knows what it’s like the day before you leave: hunting, gathering, last minute items to pick up, ziploc bags, stapling, notes to the TSA, printing out itineraries, checking in online! (gotta go do that right now – BRB!) OK, so where was I? […]
Present Time Post #4
I’m playing paddle ball with my head chatter. As soon as I toss out a worrying thought from the past or about the future I snap it right back to present time. I cannot change the past or predict the future. I can only do something NOW. – – – – –
