Energizers

Things that energize me:

• rainy days


• unexpected snow


• real conversations


• tear-wringing movies


• a child's belly laugh


• discovery of a connection


• some poetry
  
• crocus

Almost Two Months

Life just is not what one expects. Allow me to be more specific: life is seldom what I expect. Saturday will be three full months since I worked as a tutor 30 hours a week, taught a freshman writing class 3 hours a week and added the necessary hours of prep and essay critiques, and devoted every other Saturday morning to a job with no future and no chance for advancement. I wonder if I have recovered. The voice in this entry still sounds lost.
