so good I should listen to it daily!





 It's 10 ways to have a better conversation by Celeste Headlee. She is excellent, funny, 11 minutes goes by like 5, and it's hereWhen you have time, I think you'd enjoy it. Let me know?

What an interesting, wonderful blog again, Jacki. Thanks!
So, you are back home again. How do you feel about it? I personally don't like coming home too much. I have a beautiful home but I always have to get used to the daily routine again. On the other hand I wouldn't like to be away for a really long time.
Yes, I also was a physics teacher but my love was teaching math. Can you believe that this can be also very creative?
Jacki, I wish you a relaxing weekend.

I love to be home. I don't have a true routine. I get up and go to bed when I want. I eat when I want etc.A change from 33 years of marriage. And, yes, a good teacher can make anything creative, I believe.
