Poetry Friday: Sealey Challenge Week #2

 

Sealey Challenge Week #2

I started back to work on Monday, and back-to-school always takes up a lot of headspace. There’s a lot to do, a lot to think about, and it’s physically and mentally exhausting. I always worry I won’t be able to do the Sealey Challenge because of huge change in routine. But I survived the week, and I read a book or magazine a day.

This week has been all about routine and focus. I have had a busy week, and I just decided I would read every day and work on only one project this week. I’ve only had a bit of time each morning. You’d think starting my 27th school year that I’d remember to be gentle with myself, but I still have pretty big expectations (perhaps very unrealistic expectations) of myself each year. But this year I forced myself to simplify my writing this week.
