Tracking the changes

I have decided that it might be a good idea to write about my experiences with this change. Not teaching is definitely an adjustment, but I am discovering it is a great time to get to know myself once more. To find out who I am. It is humbling to feel so inadequate at times, but humility has often brought me closer to my Savior and therefore given me more strength than I have had before.

so, Yesterday, well, I struggled to get up as early as I wanted. It seemed difficult for me to justify getting up when I had all day to do what ever I chose. But, sleeping in set the tone for the day. I found myself less productive and less willing to do much...and overall I did less than I know I could have. Interesting....

So, this morning I got up to study and prepare for the day, when I wanted. I guess we will see how the rest of the day goes.

Joy comes from within. My joy comes from me and no one else. Monday was a holiday and I was bored and frustrated. I went to a friend to be lifted up only to discover that it didn't work. I needed to lift myself. Choose for myself to find joy in even the days of rejection, frustration, and boredom. A good lesson...a good experience.

Later...
