I've been living

I'm on spring break, and I've been running like crazy since the end of January. What have I been doing?

• proofed galleys for Salt in the Sugar Bowl
• got a new crop of students who have worked me to the hilt (technology is the new pencil!)
• learned to send text messages (on a phone without a keyboard, mind you)
• learned to use an MP3 player (I'm not as old as I sound-, but 'til now I've gone down the techno hiway kickin' & screamin')
• proofed videos that my cousin made to promote my book (and they are GREAT!)
• jumped out of my comfort zone and interacted with a lot of people about promotion
• bought a rockin' new pocketbook
• went to the beach with my husband
• started meditating daily (again)
• read a lot of indie books (poetry and fiction) and have been taken aback by how many of the best things are often flying below the radar
• attended the Collaborative Conference for Student Achievement and learned a lot of GOOD STUFF
• started getting happier and happier-- day by day!

'nuff said.

Here's a picture I really like. I never know exactly why I like what I like. I wouldn't exactly want to be at that place, but I love nature, and I love adventure. But I'm rather like that armchair traveller that Anne Tyler wrote about in the Accidental Tourist.
