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

Tick tock goes the internal clock

Internal clock, why must you be so precise, on such a schedule?

Hadn't you heard? Today is a holiday. No school. Ta-da!

Get up or you won't fall asleep tonight...
Better drink your coffee before 9 a.m. or you'll be up past your bedtime...
No napping or your whole week will be thrown off...

Such were a few of your messages today - messages, which, thank you very much, I heard loud and clear.

On the flipside, I do suppose I can be grateful to be forced to keep such a schedule. After all, I managed to go for a quick run at the gym, watch episode 3 of Downton Abbey, read over half of an Advanced Reader copy of a soon-to-be-released children's book, packed tomorrow's lunch, and got a few things done for school. (I still have a retreat meeting to go to, but that's another story.)

Oh, and I may have just realized that the latest episode of Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! had Sutton Foster as the guest. Guess what I'm listening to in just a few minutes...

But in all seriousness, internal clock or not, I am grateful for the day off from school. This weekend was much needed.
