I am trying to maintain momentum as we head into June, but I feel like this has been the entire year–just trying to find and ride some momentum. From “distance” to “hybrid” to full in-person (and all the other little transitions and distractions), it is been hard to find and hold some momentum–and motivation. And now, here in June, I find my grip on things to be slipping. I am ready to be done. The kids are ready to be done. And I know I should hide my lack right now, and I will–mostly, but it’s getting harder with each passing day. And I know I am not alone. We are, all of us, struggling to maintain right now. And for a great many of us–I imagine–we are just trying to maintain our sanity as we limp through the rest of the year, our energy ebbing and flowing.

Fortunately–unexpectedly–mine just found a flow. Just as I am writing this, one of my students is up right now (probably all night, knowing her) submitting work. I have gotten several notification dings all morning, and with each ding, I remember that we, that I, will prevail. We always do, and the kids will help us get there. Thank goodness for kids.

Happy Tuesday, all.

Do. Reflect. Do Better.
