Day 120 (last post)

Last day of April, last day of blog.  I know I said a year, then I said six months, but once you have decided to give up on something it is rather pointless to continue, and I couldn't bear to think of another two months, so four months it is, 120 days it was.

There are so many things I would rather be doing with this time, usually about two hours a day.  I could be playing the piano, reading, painting, improving my french, writing something which might one day be actually published.  So.

A rainy wet day, filled with enthusiasm:

The middle school production of Seussical the Musical - brilliant!

My little 7th-graders bringing goodies and selling them at the bake sale for the Elephants - great verve and salesmanship!

My 12th-graders who are finished school until examinations, but came for the two-hour afternoon class yesterday and today, and promised to see me again on Friday - admirable!

Standing painting for my three-hour evening class tonight - delightful! (exhausting but delightful)

My beautiful tired son after his evening class coming up to find me on the 5th floor, lifting my heart with his big, tall hug - priceless!

So although I no longer have a keen interest in continuing this blog, I am still filled with enthusiasm for much of my everyday life.  Enthusiasm literally means having "a god within", and mine tends towards finding the beautiful, celebrating the good.

May you all be filled with enthusiasm, and do wonderful things!

And so.... goodnight!  Go well and safely.

  1. I didn't always find the time to read it so I must commend you on the time that you did find to write it. I would sometimes read about 2 weeks worth at a time. A wonderfully rich tapestry of the layers of your life. Thank you for sharing. Maybe you can spoil us with a snippet once in a while.
