It's time

I haven't made a complete blog post since last summer.  I have two half-completed posts sitting on the server, one about graduation and one about why I haven't been posting.  There are reasons why I didn't write- ups and downs of life, maybe some post-grad exhaustion (combined with studying for licensure), a hesitance to make some things public.  Whatever the reasons, I'm ready to have a public voice again.  I have a lot on my mind these days- the struggles of working in urban schools, my self-reflection as I become old(er), and my usual random thoughts.  So, as part of other things I am trying to do more of (exercise, cleaning, reading, etc) I'm going to try to make positing a weekly routine, like it was two years ago.  I'm looking forward to rediscovering my writing.

And, to end, there must be a photo.So here's my mom and my precious cousin Grey on a carousel at the zoo, as I watch them from a horse.  We had such a great weekend and I can never get enough time with my family. :)
