Many of us teachers are on a Winter Break.
That means no alarms. Lazy days.
And plainly deciding what to do and WHEN to do it.
Thank you so much for taking life slow, for allowing me to be lazy yesterday, and still have an opportunity to write today. I hope you have a wonderful Break, do fun things, relax a little and read (if you want to).
Sincerely, Alyce
Dear House,
I would really like to declutter you this break. Do not feel offended if you find some breathing room as I slowly toss or upcycle some of your possessions.
Love, The Homeowner
Dear Husband and Children,
Do Not Panic. I will not touch your possessions as I declutter (even though I have dreamt about it), but I may move things around...
Fondly, Wife and Mother
Dear Winter Break,
Please be kind to me. Help me to keep my identity (teacher) even as I try out secret identities. Guide me to times of productivity, times of rest, times of people and times alone. Allow me to be present in each moment.
Gratefully yours, Alyce
That's it. Write your own letters and link up with--
oh I love that - allow me to be present in each moment. yes, allow me that, too. thanks for a great reminder :-)
