I return to my teaching duties today. The down side of these long breaks is the difficulty in returning after several weeks away. Waking up this morning felt so different even though I woke at the same time I usually do. It is just that for the last few weeks I have been able to wake and have no scheduled day ahead of me. Now, today, I feel oppressed by the various appointments of the day. And the cold rain does not lift my spirits. But in a few hours it will feel as though the break never happened.
