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

Bring it back

If I could only use one word to describe my family's trip up north, what would it be? What word could sum it up so well that no other words would be necessary? Would that even be possible?

Relaxing? (For the most part, this is true...)

Peaceful? (Yes, but not always...)

Beautiful? (Absolutely, yet too simple/vague...)

Nostalgic? Hmm...I like the sound of that...so true, so true.

Ok, that's what I'm going with - Nostalgic. That's my one word. Reminiscent of summers past, favorite places & family traditions.

Oh, but there I go, breaking my own self-imposed rule, using more words to qualify my choice of one word. Oops.

Maybe I should just use some pictures to back myself up:

Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes (overlooking Lake Michigan)


Sunset at Betsie Point

Petoskey

Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island

dinner on the island

ice cream & fudge at world-famous Ryba's - yum!

the ferry took us to and from Mackinac Island
