Day 5 - 135 -- Reflection Time

The day involved a five hour meeting as part of annual planning. Much of the time dealt with looking back on accomplishments. We were in reflective mode with some time needed to contextualize past occurrences. We ended early, which allowed us to spend time on the individual entries needed on the large tables and spreadsheets. It was like some 'found' time, and with nothing else having been booked for the expected day long meeting, time and energy could be put towards this task now instead of later.

The evening brought a lovely dinner out with a friend. The food was amazing and we had time to chat -- something that has been at a premium during the teaching term. Wind arrived late in the day and nasty storm clouds moved around town in the early evening. There was a downpour closer to bedtime, but not the rain overnight that some had forecast.

Since much of the day was spent dealing with discussions of past experiences, feelings of accomplishment were mixed with a bit of wistfulness. Today's selection contains lyrics that describe this feeling somewhat. Enjoy!
