Today is the official first day of my summer break. Summer school ended yesterday and let me say here and now it ended on a high note. The last few days were more than pleasant, they were actually enjoyable. I spent quality time with the Youth in the class, laughed, was silly, and just did what I do in being the person I am.
Through the process of those final days I now feel restored. In the last 4 weeks I honestly felt my inner person changing into someone I didn't like. I was becoming negative, was too serious about minor things, and became somewhat of a grouchy old man. Those who know me will tell you I am none of those things.
But I had to go through this recent journey to get to the realization that sometimes situations will arise which have the possibility of creating in me this alternate person. This is what the last 4 weeks have taught me; recognize when I am becoming someone I'm not and do what needs to be done to not let it happen. And in the process continue to build relationships with God, others, and myself.
Sounds difficult, and it can be, but with Jesus at my side I'm sure this is something I can do.
