9/30: writing and thinking
I enjoyed my work today, and now I only have two paragraphs to finish tomorrow!
9/29: heron tree gratitude
After dinner I posted on the Heron Tree site the last poem remaining to published from last year's submissions. As our first cycle of publication ends, I'm feeling so grateful to the poets who sent us their work and to Chris and Sandy who co-edit with me. It's a good thing to have this project in my life. And as if to give a stamp of approval, when we went down to the lake this evening a great blue heron squawked and flew past.
9/28: new find
We had lunch at a new-to-us Indian restaurant. The food was good, and it's closer to us than the Indian restaurant in Little Rock!
9/27: a tad of trollope
Today I got to work on some Trollope research I'm finishing up with students. Trollope's not been front-and-center with me since my courses began, so I enjoyed returning to him for a bit and getting to spend some time with his work as well as with my student's thoughts about his work.
9/26: having made myself a margin
I had read ahead for one of my classes last week, and I am so grateful that I did. I didn't get any sleep last night, so I wasn't functioning at full capacity today--but because of my reading ahead a less-than-full-on day hasn't put me behind.
9/25: intersubjectivity
I am grateful to two friends today for their willingness to talk with me when I was having a hard time, even though they put their own work on hold to do so.
9/24: one done, another begun
It's going to be a semester with lots of paper-writing, a prospect which is both exciting and chastening. Today I finished my first one (on fairytale as a language), and I had fun doing it. And then while I was kayaking I mentally mapped out my second one, due in a week.
