a cup of tea



1st class of teaching is always stressful. i don't sleep well the night before. worry and anticipation. am i prepared? will they be receptive ? have i forgotten anything? do i have anything to teach them? but of course it's always ok and sometimes it wonderful. and yesterday it was wonderful. so today i'm home and will treat myself well. this exquisitie tea cup came in the mail on monday. a 1930's royal albert tea cup i got on ebay for $7.99. it reminds me of the first tentative rosebud of the new year. i'll take a slow day enjoying these simple things...

Shawn, even after 30+ years of teaching, I would not be able to sleep on the night before classes started.
