Beginnings and Endings

​

This is the end of another year of teaching
 
      But it is the beginning of a respite for the body and soul
 
 
This is the end of another year of testing and calculating
 
      But it is the beginning of several months with no benchmarks
 
 
This is the end of rushing to meet deadlines and multitasking
 
     But it is the beginning of a season of being in the moment
 
 
This is the end of worrying about keeping everyone on task
 
     But it is the beginning of a season of letting go
 
 
This is the end of frantic lunch breaks and early morning meetings
 
     But it is the beginning of days that begin and end naturally
 
 
This is the end of worrying about assessment, particularly your own
 
     But it is the beginning of being the person you choose to be
 
 
This is the end of one year in your life that you can't change
 
     But it is the beginning of another year that you can
 
 
Happy Summer to All!
