For an English Professor like me….

New notes, specific objectives, and I am moving on them today.  NOW, actually.

Just touched down in VV a bit ago.  Some stuff around the house done with Nurse now to brunch, somewhere.

Three or four-pronged objective this evening while the Nurse is in the city with her daughters – and all surrounding education, teaching, returning to the classroom somehow.

Notes from earlier, Psychology and student mind and priorities.  I’m one of them, now more than any other time.  Changing my attitude, making a decision and following through with it.

First step on this new Road – Research.  See what there is, community and resources, defamiliarize with sources, articles….

One I’m reading now, a bit discouraging when considering returning to two-year college instruction, or really any other.  Not listening, at least not right now.

Day ONE.  Today, but everyday will be seen as DAY.ONE.

I’m onto something.  Mindful of where I am and what I’m doing.

Decision, then patience.  That’s the hard part for me, always has been.

Writing my way to anything and everything. Today, and onward.  Waking at 05:00 tomorrow, and writing 1001 words for this new inception, this new degree of deliberate and near-militant return to teaching.

But enough about me, the day speaks to us, always.  I need a second to collect… no distraction.

I just decided to stop…. Certain mind-shapes.

Sticking with it.  No discouragement, like JO said this morning MAKE A DECISION.

Done.  Nurse leaves for the evening in the city with her daughters and I am here, forcing myself to create something.  Something thats will translate into… well, you know.
