It's been a month

Yes, it's been a month since the last post, but once CPE is done, I will have more time to actually think about doing the things I haven't been so good about doing this summer, like blogging. I'm sure that next Friday I will want nothing more than to spend oodles of time in the public library in Albert Lea and just type away. I cannot tell you how much I've learned this summer, but let me just say that it's been good, rewarding, but I'm ready to be done and move onto the next chapter of my life. What that is, we'll have to wait and see.

Taking care of myself

Sometimes I find myself forgetting some important things. In my wanting to be there for other people, I forget that sometimes other people want to be there for me. I'm only beginning to learn that lesson. I'm beginning to learn that in its own weird way, allowing people to get to know me is a way for me to take care of myself (if that makes any sense). All I need to do is apply this lesson to my life. Knowing that I have a group of people who can and will hold me accountable in this brings some comfort to my putting this lesson to use.
