Officially in the last month of school. One of my best years ever, student wise. Just hate to send this bunch off to high school. In fact, we joke that we'd love to keep this group for another year and let the seventh grade make the jump early. (Really cheering for mega-maturing over the summer for that bunch.)
Anyway, things are nuts. Today I bound 175 student projects that now must be graded by next Thursday. Going to be "stuck" at home Saturday (still no car) and look forward to being a prisoner to the garden. Had my follow-up with the neurologist to get the results of my tests to determine if I really did just faint in September, or if I had a seizure. Never did hear from the DMV, but if they do get in touch, I can assure them I just fainted.
I've been trying to remember to check the pond every day. Last summer I invested in a lotus, Mrs. Perry D. Slocum. She's doing extremely well.
I think by summer she will have filled her little pond with leaves and I'm optimistic that I'll see flowers this year. Which is why I try to remember to check every day. I don't want to miss the show.
While I was checking today I noticed several new leaves appearing. When I looked closely, I learned something delightful about how lotus leaves unfurl.
The lotus has two special meanings for me. First, my grandchild in Japan's name is related to the lotus flower.
And the lotus flower is the flower of rebirth. Rebirth is what I've been all about for the last three years, and to live in love and gratitude is the theme that has been developing for my new life.
I was tickled to see Lotus Leaf Love.
