~:[CH5 - Day 336]:~ Flavorful
While in the day, I began to see new faces as we held our first track meeting of the year, by day's end, I was eating with a familiar face. It's great to meet up with former students and see how they progress in life. To see them go from student or athlete, to friend, and possible to becoming a colleague. To see people go through what you struggled through and to help talk about your own experiences and how you dealt with them is somewhat refreshing. Regardless, as I look back at a simple day, it was refreshing on how relaxed the day felt, but also how much I was able to get done. There was so much work to do today, but in the end, the new faces and catching up with others, provided the right combination to making today such a flavorful one. As I worked late into the evening preparing for tomorrow, I think not about the fatigue that I will be facing tomorrow, but the joy of seeing all the students who are just starting out in their high school careers as freshman to those who are on their final few conferences as seniors. My stomach is full, but so is my heart and I continue to see reasons why I should count my blessings. From students, to alumni, to colleagues, family and friends, I've been truly blessed and there are no words to express just how lucky I am.
