Today is Labour Day here in Canada (Labor Day in the USA). I always feel a twinge of anxiety about saying good-bye to the summer pace before returning to labouring. Once tomorrow hits, routine kicks in and I step on the work treadmill and run non-stop until Christmas. I do not feel as rested this year as I get ready to return. I am hoping that because I have been back at work for almost two weeks, that I won’t feel quite as exhausted as the “first day back” usually leaves me.
A friend who retired in June is not coming back to the school year. She said that it felt right not to be going to work after so many years. I wish I were accompanying her on her treks through the beauty of Newfoundland like we did a few years back as you can see in the photo above rather than heading back to work tomorrow, too.
Alas, all good things must come to an end and so hi ho, hi ho, it is off to work I go for another school year. I am hoping that the summer has given me enough of a good rest that I can produce a bountiful crop this year.
Peace,
Suzanne
