Camino Sin Nombre: Monday Mornin', Y'all

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

Monday Mornin', Y'all

The room was dark when she first entered. As the lights illuminated, she turned to face the empty board. It stared back at her. Schedule, morning message, directions for settling into the morning's routine all needed to be written on that board - and it wasn't going to happen magically. (Darn it.)

She was moving slower than usual. (Maybe she should have topped off her coffee this morning.) The copies were sitting on the machine - she had left them there accidentally over the weekend. Apparently her brain wasn't functioning too well - after all, she had been the one to remind her colleagues of jeans day, and then she had proceeded to forget to wear jeans herself.

Call it crazy. Call it being up too early in the morning. Call it what you want.

But no matter what you call it, there's no escaping that it's just another manic Monday...
