Today was the last of them. I have now met all of my new students and have been reunited with my old ones. The minute I laid eyes on the kids, I knew; this is where I am supposed to be. Have you ever just felt “at home” with yourself? My soul is filled when I am at Tesseract around the students. They fill me with joy and, yes, frustration, but deep down, my heart knows I am where I am supposed to be.
There are times in everyone’s lives when they ask if they are doing what God ordains them to be doing. We want to live purposeful, intentional lives. However, the daily grind can extinguish that spark and can create a blase approach to life. Being away from the kids for two months gave me that renewed energy and the reminder that I know that I know that I know… I love what I do.
Whatever is one’s calling should not be PERFECT ever. Occasionally, I question my direction and my place. Well, probably more often than occasionally. However, it takes time of quiet solitude and separation to appreciate the good times. May I always remember this.
Have a prosperous, successful, soulful, temperately-paced YEAR.
