With only one week left of work my mind is racing thinking of my "summer resolutions." I pondered the question, do resolutions ALWAYS have to be at the beginning of every year?! Well I'm breaking the rule, collecting my thoughts and brainstorming all that I wish to fulfill.
With so many obligations during the school year, I am constantly on the go. Yearbook, the literacy program, my ESL endorsement courses...all just add more duties/responsibilities on to my already nonstop career. I love to be busy and I have been like that for a VERY long time. I have a hard time envisioning a lifestyle that is tame even though I have been singing the I need to slow down song for as long as I can remember. (I clearly recall writing about this topic in a previous entry.) I can't be too mad at myself, come on be honest...how many resolutions have you made that unfortunately never happened?! This summer is and will be my time to dwindle down.
So what are my plans for the summer? Lots of walks, reading, pool time, writing, photography class, and on to the dreadful word exercise. ( No longer will it be my part time gig, I have to kick it up a notch!) Grrrr...probably my least favorite thing to muster up the energy to do. However, after I work out I feel rejuvenated and I guess the saying about endorphins being released after exercise is true!
I recently ran a Brookfield Zoo 5K (not much to you runners I know) and it was amazing hearing people cheering on the sidelines and I felt proud when I approached the finish line. I'm not a runner, but I'm slowly trying to conquer my next step which is to work out more. This summer is my transition period so hopefully by fall I will be renewed!
I am already visualizing my plans for the fall....
