Day 2 - 337 -- The Gift of a Change of Pace

Another term comes to an end. There are still many big and small tasks to complete before Christmas, but classes have ended. There were many smiling faces in class today -- some leftover from the ring ceremony yesterday and others from the wrapping up of 12 weeks of work.

Endings bring beginnings -- that circle of life thing, I guess. <smile>  While classes have ended, exams begin in three days, then students head home for a week or two only to return and begin the process all again in January. This ebb and flow allows for a change of pace and a bit of less frenetic time. It provides a moment for reflection on the accomplishments of the term -- a lot can happen in 12-13 weeks. It gives us a chance to catch up with ourselves and re-centre -- now that is a gift.

The song chosen for today is a holiday tune that speaks to the generosity of the time of year. This is one of my favourite duets that is in my Christmas song list every year. This year I am sharing a different grouping -- a quartet -- just as unexpected a grouping as the original duet. Enjoy!
