Let's Regroup

It's so easy to lose site of what is really important.  The day to day keeps us so busy.  
Grading.
Planning.
Meeting.
Loving our students.

The questions for December is 

What do you REALLY want?  

Do you want more time
or more peace
or more money
or whatever.

(Fill in the blank)  I want more _________________________.

And the second part of the question is

How will you regroup to get what you really want?

I know it seems counter-intuitive, but often at the busiest times, we can carve out moments to just practice being and thinking.

I've been regrouping in little spurts of time--I'm taking an online class about product development, and then I'm planning time during winter break to step away and formulate a concrete plan for 2015.  I'm dreaming in little moments before I go to sleep at night or when I awaken too early.

I'm trying to live in a space of acceptance and peace--even if it's just for a few minutes each day.

How about you, brave heart?

What do you really want?  What do you need to look at to regroup?

We are in the season of advent, and it seems like the perfect time to look forward with anticipation.
