Easy Come, Easy Go...... more like Hard Coming, Harder Leaving....

Last day with my second class today. Two years of teaching done. At this point in my life, with so much swirling around me.. it seems surreal or something. I'm not sure I have the words for it really. I love my job.
Thinking about my mentality the past month, I really don't have such a hard life to complain about....
here comes the but....

There are ongoing circumstances, relationships, heartbreaks....
There have been newly issued situations which require so much patience..... require me being the bigger person, again.

I guess as much as I think I have it together, I don't.
I need to resolve past issues. I need to figure out how exactly I feel about them and where I want them to be in the end. While treading water is a good skill to learn, it keeps you in one spot without the potential of moving far enough forward.

Lately I've been stepping back and thinking about how someone would remember me. Have I moved far enough forward? Am I improving myself, staying stagnate, or worse, declining? We all have faults but how do I make mine appear less severe... and mainly, how do I improve myself to the point of being proud again.

I want to ask: "When's it my turn?" but that seems so self-involved....

Blessings:
