The difficult I’ll do right now. The impossible will take a little while.

As we envision what education might look like on the other side of a pandemic, this quote speaks to me. Although I do not know what the future holds, I know – deep in my heart – that we have both an opportunity and a responsibility to transform education from the ground level.
01: Get 6 – 7 Hours of Sleep Each Night {Status: 119/126}
A few short sleeps as my girls faced college finals week and a few hiccups in friend circles. Thanks to my established routine, I took these in stride.
02: Learn Calligraphy
That new course is still sitting in my inbox! Maybe this will happen?
03: Purge 1000 items {Status: 566/1000}
I have two boxes of clothes ready to leave – I just need to count the items. And, 30 more subscriptions are deleted!
04: Organize the Attic
No progress in this area this week.
05: Read 100 Books, including ALL of the DBC books. {Status: 21/100}
While I read a lot this week, I didn’t finish ANYthing. Maybe I’m due for a flood of finishes soon? Maybe?

07: Get in Shape
Here are some specific action steps that I took this week:
Spring challenge continues this week. I’m enjoying a 55 day streak!
Earned a couple of cool badges!
For another week, I closed the Activity Ring every. single. day. There is something quite satisfying about these silly little rings!
I’m pretty proud of have a 135 day MOVE streak, too!
I joined ANOTHER StepBet to push myself to get extra steps each day. I also love these bets because I lace up my sneakers, pop in my earbuds, and enjoy this glorious Spring weather!
08: #OneMonthGoals with Michael Matera
Last year, I joined Michael Matera on his #OneMonthGoals journey. I ran every single day for a month – and it was glorious. This year, I am committed to selecting (and sticking with) one new goal each month, which I will document here.

10: Maintain a weekly blog {16/52}
I missed a couple of weeks – but, I’m back!
11: Simplify my life
As the academic year winds to a close, I continue to work to do ALL of my work at work and enjoy my house (and the people in it) in the evenings. I’m getting better and better at this!
12: Organize my mother’s photographs {425 scanned}
I scanned and organized about 100 photographs this week. I was able to eliminate one more large envelope of memorabilia. It was so fun to find my mother’s Prom memorabilia – especially since she went to the Prom with my Dad!
