Students teach you something every day.

I was surfing around pinterest and found this thoughtful definition. In my month of teaching. I have learned quite a lot about the Zombie Apocalypse.

Some tulips

My camera is packed away in storage, but i've been snapping shots on my droid. I even figured out how to switch the White balance setting to sunlight.

A little bit of peace

Today has been a peaceful day. I have written some. Read some. And enjoyed the outdoors.
This week i have been drinking a great deal of tea and trying to coax my body to stay healthy.

When i was in middle school I took a school trip out to Olympic National park. For more than a week we hiked and canoed and did team building exercises. And because the resort we stayed at specialized in natural and organic foods (no sodas etc.) i ate tons of fruits and veggies, had my first encounter with hummus and drank a lot of tea. I remember feeling refreshed and clean when i came home.

What started early in the week as the sniffles has turned into some sinus and bronchial distress. So, i have clomped around school the last few days with Immunity boosting teas in hand. Breathing in the steam and  drinking all this tea has reminded me of that trip to Olympia. Despite feeling wiped and tired...I feel pretty good. Its nice to feel like your insides are clean.

Today is a rainy saturday. The sun is trying to poke through the clouds and I'm reading Water for Elephants. This stuff struck my fancy.

Taking some time to unwind. A poem that came my way today and sums up how i feel. 


Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
                                                       Yeats


These are my favorite things from Pinterest today. 

Moved

I have a place! I could not be more excited. A friend of a friend was trying to rent a room in her beautiful old historic house and here i am. Its 10 minutes from school with the kind of creaky wood floors i love. And a tin roof. (love) My room is white with white washed floors...wells loved and scuffed by 25 years of treading. Awnd i'm slowly trying to settle in.

via pinterest isn't it great?
