hiatus

It has been hard to keep up with everything. Indeed, running one's own business and working on my textbook has taken the place of other activities that used to busy my hands, which means some have had to suffer sacrifice while others flourish.

The good news is, I love working for myself, I love the dynamics of being self-employed and the natural transitions that work like this offers me. I have more time now for my children during the day, which is wonderful. And I am in the black having only been in business for a couple of months, which is a plus. Although not earning as much as I did yet at Mason, the quality of life has improved, I am a much happier person and job-satisfaction is high. Come August I will focus more on effectively advertising myself and preparing for more of a set schedule for the school year.

We just finished dying Easter eggs. The kids had a wonderful time. Tomorrow is our annual Easter Egg Hunt, which will be fun--as always. I look forward to sharing in Easter joys with our friends.

Today there was a small layer of snow lacing the cherry blossom buds and the tips of the tulips. I got my camera out and took some pictures. Hopefully they will turn out well.

Happy Easter!
