I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Coming to the End

Vacation is a good thing. 
All good things come to an end. 
Therefore, vacation comes to an end...on Sunday.

Just got back to the Windy City this afternoon, and, while it's mighty good to be back, it's also somewhat sad to leave family and friends back home. Visiting and relaxing were much needed activities, and my sister and I definitely kept busy with family activities, dinners with friends, movies (like Moneyball), jogs around the neighborhood, a haircut, Church events, and more. (So good to be home.)

But, as noted above, vacations only last for so long, so this evening I spent some time preparing for an upcoming reading convention (SO EXCITED!) and reading up on the latest reading research.

I guess tomorrow will be time to focus on the upcoming Religion unit I need to plan, some grading I've left unfinished, and some leisure reading.

And with ends come beginnings - and I'm taking bets Monday will begin the students' countdown to summer break...
