Carl Sandburg Reflection

Today was a great first day of class. I was hestitant when I realized that class started the day after I finished my first year teaching. But today was so relaxing and fun that all my stress from the year is starting to melt away. I bonded with my writing group today and we click really well. I am excited to continue to get to know everyone and I agree that we have a great group. The writing that was read during author's chair gave me goosebumps. Everyone is so talented and it is great to have this chance to write, be inspired and learn. It is hard to take the time to write and it is refreshing to be a part of a class and group that makes us take the time. It is important to me but I neglect that desire. So I appreciate being pushed. I am a learner and I enjoy and need the challenge that this class will bring. I came home this evening and it finally hit me that this year is over. I got the worst headache and was tired as I finally allowed myself to breathe. I find that stress hits me when I finally have the time to slow down. I have been going, going, going and today was the first time in a long time that I enjoyed myself and gave myself the break I deserve. The property and house was amazing and I too hope that writing crawled into my skin today!
