Did you ever think that you'd see another post from me here? I certainly wasn't sure there for awhile! I tried to write at a different blog this summer (interactionsofjaime.wordpress.com) and it was okay for a bit (I will probably still write there too), but man do I miss the cave. It would defeat the whole idea of this blog (the cave of NOW) to reiterate all that's happened in this last year so, I won't!
As for the moment at hand, I find myself diving into a new process of becoming a licensed public school teacher. For me, this starts with getting a substitute teaching license and getting into a few local schools on a daily basis. Then, it's researching and selecting a master's program online and working through it. Seems like a cinch, right? ha. I'm excited. There is energy in this new plan.
In these last months, I've felt more useful than I have in a long time. Perhaps it is not that I have actually been more useful (or that before I was less useful), but I sense my usefulness more now. It's probably because my eyes are open more! In any event, I'm quite hopeful that my thoughts and reflections will make their way to this space in the near future. I hope that you'll join me here often.
So, I leave you with a photo of my summer. I got to do some canoeing/camping with my dad and it was just the best adventure! This was one morning on Birch Lake south of Ely, MN. You can't beat mornings on the lake with dad!
