I'm recruiting again - a different city, different campus, a couple of hours away from home; South this trip. Beautiful mountains on both sides of the road caused me to reflect on the flatness of the DC/Northern Virginia region with some dismay. I don't realize how much I miss the mountains and open fields until I'm driving through them on my way to somewhere else.
The road, this time, drew me towards my youngest child - a sophomore in college. As I pulled in to the campus, she texted me and asked for a pick up on the Quad. After a Target run and a lovely dinner, we ended up in my hotel room, curled on the couch for some girl time. What a draw - time to recruit newly graduating future teachers and a few hours to spend with my not-so-little girl!

I loved your post, Ellen! Mine comes home tomorrow night. I could feel your inner peace being with her. . .
ReplyDeleteLucky you! It's nice when your job takes in the direction of family.
ReplyDeleteI love the sweetness of the tension of time in that last sentence!
ReplyDeleteThis almost sounds like a work-life balance. So nice that you can catch up with your girl on the road.
