it's interesting to recognize that while my mouth was healing, other parts of me were healing as well. i think there's something incredibly therapeutic about sleeping pain away. maybe it's just about sleeping and allowing your body and mind the space to breathe uninterrupted. during that time, i began to think more about my personal goals. about what to do, about what i want to do and how to do it. i realized that i'm very good at making lists but that when it comes to actually doing things, i make tiny excuses. the time to start is now.
so i've begun to do things. i practice yoga every other day. i study korean, even if it's only a little bit, every day. i'm also practicing the guitar, daily. and even on those days when i lack patience or the mood, i'm still making it a habit, a good habit, to DO! and when i push all the tiny excuses away, i feel better. some days, i feel great.
in less than two months, i'll hopefully have a new job! my current contract ends at the end of september and i've given my notice. i am not renewing. i don't have my next job lined up, and even though i have some anxieties, i trust and have faith that i will find a good job. a better fitting job. i want to teach children. i like teaching adults, but, oh! the children. (to quote pre-crack whitney and 30 rock, "i believe the children are our future...")
