Years Come and They Go. Lessons Learned and Moving On.

March 2019 was my last post on this blog.

And how life has changed!

2019 when I last wrote, I was working as a school principal and about ready to go on the trip of a lifetime - to Italy with my beloved, Lee. We took the trip in June and it was amazing. The best trip EVER! Here are life events since that time:

  • Travel to Italy on grand trip!
  • Lee diagnosed with Glioblastoma brain cancer
    • COVID hits USA
    • 4 types of chemo
    • 3 brain surgeries
    • 30 days radiation
    • Immunotherapy
    • Trips to UCSF for treatment
    • Home therapy
    • Hospice
    • Lee passed away March, 2021
  • Lee’s mom died
  • Lee’s dad died
  • Cycling vacation to BryceCanyon/Zion
  • Left principal position - stress of hospice and Lee’s death just too much to handle
  • Brett moved to Texas with his family
  • Lauren moved to Fair Oaks with her family
  • Sammy (dog of 16 years) died
  • New job
  • Remodeled bathroom
  • Remodeled guest room (where Lee’s hospice room was)
  • 3 different bikes
  • Changed job this year (same company)
  • 3 grandkids and 1 more on the way
  • Cycling vacation to Italy
I never thought so much would happen all within 4 years. FOUR YEARS!! Good grief. No wonder I feel worn out. That’s a lot to handle in four years’ time. 

So, this blog will be taking a turn. It use to be all about teaching. But I’m not teaching any more and it is no longer my focus. In fact, I’ve left teaching a few times to go into administrative work and the past few times, returned to teaching. But no more. I can proudly say I’m done teaching and am happy to move on.
I hope to write about life lessons. You see, I’ve learned more in these past 4 years than I have in…well, I don’t know how long.
