..... this weekend marks not only Thanksgiving, but also the weekend that we officially pulled the Dragon Boats and the floating docks off Fanshawe Lake for the season. The weather has been incredible with daytime temperatures of over 28 degrees with bright sunshine. As I stand on the shoreline and look out over the smooth as glass surface, broken occasionally with driftwood, feathers or algae, I think about the season and how it started in a miserable rain shower. I think about the relationships that have grown over the season and of all the truly great moments with the women I have come to love and admire. I am deeply grateful in this bittersweet moment as I celebrate the passing of my first season of which I am no longer a newbie. I breathe in deeply and look around at the rusty, reds, oranges and yellows of a season in change - reflects a season of so much change within me. I look forward to the next season and know that the month in between will be spent taking some much needed down time as I try to balance my hectic lifestyle.
These past few weeks have been challenging and rewarding. The students are the best group we have had in a very long time and I am eager to see how they fare on their first test with me. It happens this week after a period of review. Next week I have to prepare my lectures for the students starting with how to reduce and map boolean equations.... love this stuff.... such a geek!!
