I love learning.  I love learning even more than I love teaching.  And in this case, I am not referring to the kind of learning that takes place in the classroom.  I’m speaking of the kind of learning that takes place when you realize a fault that you have that you were never aware of.  The kind of learning that takes place when you see that family is more important that anything else.  

Know what I’ve learned this week?  I’ve learned that a free hour is to be cherished…not planned over.  When in school, I looked forward to finals week because that was a sign tat school was almost over and I would have a life again.  I could read for pleasure, maybe sleep in once or twice, wake up looking refreshed and not have to put concealer under my eyes, etc.  Well finals week came and went and here I am.  C-R-A-Z-Y busy.  I planned something for every second I wasn’t already doing something else.  I had 3 or 4 photo shoots, tryouts for a Color guard I teach, meetings about Church, painting an office, mentoring teenagers…just typing it all frustrates me.  

So here I am Lubbock.  Lesson learned.  So what to do with it now?  Embrace it.  I woke up an hour ago.  I plan on doing Yoga in a few minutes.  Work from a coffeeshop. Love my free few minutes, and those I get to spend it with.

May that be the story of your weekend.  Simply cherished.
