Whimsical

That is how I have been feeling lately. I am sure it has something to do with reading the Anne of Green Gables series. She is good at putting thought, emotion and feeling into words. I am unfortunate to not have such a gift, at least not in speaking, but sometimes in writing I can express myself a little bit more (thanks to the backspace and to taking time to form a thought).

I must say that I have been missing home lately. Good ol' Gettysburg. Really there is no place like it and I sometimes get so frustrated with thinking that I live here in downtown Tyler,Texas with traffic and a little lawn and no view. I am so glad I am going home next month. I will soak in every part of Gettysburg that I love so much. I am going to do several things; I will for one climb to the top of the play house and sit in my favorite spot at sunset and just soak in the view. I will also take a walk in the field behind my house. I won't have a purpose or a plan but just to walk. I am so homesick. Most of the time I am quite content with living here in Tyler TX, the "big city", but then there are these times when I just wish Gettysburg was in my pocket and I could pull it out and go there for a spell. I know for sure that Tyler has begun to "feel" more and more like home, but will it take living here 23 years for me to feel what I feel for Gettysburg? Oh I hope not.

I am getting excited for the school year to begin. I keep thinking how I just want to get my first mistakes out of the way so that I can become a teacher and be good at it. I know I'll make mistakes, it's just in my nature for sure. But after I make them I usually don't make them again. I am good at learning from them. Well I really should be in bed. Goodnight!
