Happy August, beautiful readers! July was a very stressful month for me with all the renovations. Yesterday was probably the most stressful as I'm dealing with a dishonest contractor. I'm so close to this project being done, and I just want it finished. I go back to work next Thursday, so I'm feeling a lot of stress about whether the renovations will be completed by then. Plus, there is still so much I want to do before the teacher planning days start. I'm trying to focus on one day at a time, but it isn't always easy.
Anyway, for this week's Reena's Xploration Challenge #392, Reena invites us to focus on how one sees oneself in the future. She shares this video for inspiration. I'm nowhere near retirement, but when I think of my future, this is what I see. I've written a tanka for this challenge.
rejuvenate my spirit
avid wanderer
emotionally at peace
excited for new journeys
