Ten Years… and counting

 

Ten years….of writing, reflecting, and posting.

This blog has morphed from a class blog (2004), to a runner’s diary,  to a tech teacher’s tips for teachers, to a writer’s journal, to my progress with letterpress.

June is always a time to reflect, at least for a former teacher. It makes me think about Annie Dillard’s comment:

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”

I’m trying to picture myself years from now, thrashing about, wondering if the way I’ve spent my days matters.

When I tell people what I’m doing now, writing and learning to letterpress, I often get a quizzical look. I’m not sure if people doubt my writing ability or can’t figure out why I am knee-deep in ink, metal and wood type, and mineral spirits.
