Sliding Into Saturday Morning Asking, "What Was This Last Week?" Taking a Breath and Starting the One Right Around the Corner. It Must Be Spring.

University life can be exhausting. I get the advice, "oh, it's a way of life," but when you get off the last ZOOM meeting at 9:30 p.m. on a Friday night, knowing there's more tomorrow you think, "I'm not sure this design is sustainable."

It's not. 

I did get in a trivia game with the BEKETs during the 2nd CNY Reading Council's invitation. We didn't place, but if there was a tie for first, broken, we pretty near came in 3rd. Who designed that Francois Petit category. 

Always great to see Syracuse friends.

The rest of the day was spent in faculty searches and I know today is Saturday, but it blurs with the fact that it just was Saturday. Zip Zap Zoom. 

Today's #VerseLove challenge was to write 3 stanzas, the first with a question, the second with an answer, and a third with a reflection. I remember the day and time that Dr. Kathleen Hinchman called me from Syracuse University to off a Graduate Fellowship. It was the highest honor I could be given and I spent many years wondering if it was the right one. I leaped and the net appeared. Looking back at the past 10 years, I realized my life launched into a totally new trajectory (as it will again and again). For that moment though, I would have never known the beauty that would come my way by saying, "I accept". I LOVED THIS PROMPT. Still not sure about my response, but it's a draft. 

And I'm waking up today thinking, "Okay, Saturday. What comes next?"
