Since I haven't had the opportunity to write in the last month or so I thought I would write a twitter style set of memories and moments that have passed through out the holidays:
…
- Christmas brings up such elevated emotions for everyone. The day school got out I helped navigate a weep-fest of 5th graders who decided that they wanted to talk about people in their lives who had died.
- …
- A little Somalian boy in one of my classes spent about 5 minutes touching my beard and telling me about his dad who he hadn't seen in years.
…
I was hired as a ski instructor at mt hood meadows.
…
California winter days brought some quiet winter sunshine. It was something that I didn't even realize that I missed until I felt it come through the window.
…
Christmas was less chaotic than usual, but it still had its scheduling difficulties, it is damn hard to organize 4 different families with ample time.
…
After Christmas, we went to Point Reyes and watched the incredibly large waves and elephant seals. I forget how beautiful that state park is. It would be such a shame to have to close it.
…
…
Its really strange to not have a teaching job and listen to my sisters stories as she begins her career.
…
I dealt with a little bit of homesickness because I didn't see all of my friends and my family time seemed cut short.
…
I actually missed Portland!
…
It snowed a good 3 or 4 inches in the city and it was beautifully quiet, aside from the screeched of cars that couldn't make it up the hill.
…
The new years brought fun
…
On New Years day we all wrote down things that we wanted to leave behind in 2009 and it brought up some pretty intense feelings.
…
I spent a lot of time trying to come up with a best of the year and decade list for my favorite music, movies and books but its taking longer than I thought. I plan on revealing it soon.
…
I hope the new year brings all of us joy, balance, peace, and a whole lot of love!
