two weeks in a row now. Never thought I would go back. The separation seemed permanent, irrevocable...
Perhaps the relocation. Did more good than even I thought it would.
Here I am, back in the sunshine state, after decades in the Carolinas. This is something else I didn't see ever happening. I believe many others are amazed too. Mike would, doubtless, have something cryptic to say. Something like there being no white water in Florida. Therein was one of my main troubles with mike. He tended to define everything from his point of view and understanding. The kayaking thing was something forced upon me because it suited mike. The control thing once more.
Yes, that I am here is amazing to me and others. Yeti think it is something I really needed to do.
I was never going to get back in the classroom I either Virginia or North Carolina. I've actually been fortunate to land where I did. At least,that is what I think right now. I don't know how I will handle it if this turns out to be a disappointment. It still could be.
Age has been my main detractor. There are other teachers at clermont middle who are just about the same age as me. I was surprised at that.
I needed to get away. Now I have. And the more I ponder that, the more I think I might not go back, at least, not to my neighborhood or to Greensboro area. Too many memories of heartache. I don't feel that herein Florida. This could provide me the time I need to heal.
I certainly hope it does.
