I was never a morning person until I hit my 40’s. I’m not sure why but all of a sudden I needed that time in the morning, before everyone else was up and before I went to work, to have some calm and quiet. Some time to meditate, do some deep breathing and (before blogging) write in my journal.
I set my alarm for 5:30 am but lately it’s rare that I actually get out of bed that early.
Next week I will be doing Clinical with my students and I need to be at work for 6:30 am so I’ll likely set my alarm for 5. And no hitting snooze.
I’m in a WordPress funk right now and feeling very uninspired with what I’m writing. Maybe it’s because I’m rushing too much lately. Or too much background noise in my head.
I feel the pressure of Christmas looming. I haven’t even started my Christmas shopping, which I’ll do mostly online. Canada Post is on strike right now so I’m not even sure if what I order will arrive if the strike lasts beyond the 25th.
If I have to say something positive this morning it’s that I can work from home today and that means Sid can stay home with me, which I love.
Also, Clint and I took two huge boxes containing twenty-nine pairs of brand new and brand name running shoes to the airport yesterday to be shipped up today, to the community where Sid originally lived. They are for the kids in the school who desperately need school shoes.
The vice-principal messaged me, excited to receive the shoes for the kids, saying one kid was looking around for glue last week, to glue together the shoes he has, as they’re falling apart.
I was able to purchase the shoes with money I raised through a raffle for some Winnipeg Jets tickets. This makes me so happy. And feeling so grateful.
