Slacking already?

I just started this blog and I am already slacking at posting!

I guess my excuse is that I feel a little guilty posting on here when I have schoolwork I should be doing. So to combat the guilt, I just don't do either. :)

I am going this evening to a farewell reception for my principal. He has been given a job by the Department of Defense at a school in Japan. I am happy that he has been given this opportunity. He has a daughter who is a teacher at the same school in Japan who just gave him a grandchild. He will be able to spend more time with them, as well as enjoy learning about a new culture.

The change in administration will not be that extreme since they hired from within the school. My old assistant principal is now the principal and my old co-teacher is now the assistant principal. I am certain there will be some changes ahead but I think that the school will continue to run smoothly.

Tonights reception brings the reality that school is starting back very soon! I have to go back next Tuesday for the first day of pre-planning. I say that I am ready to start back, but like always, three weeks into the school year I will be wishing it was summer again.

Eyes Forward

This is my first post on my new blog. I have been posting for the past couple of years on a blog about my liver transplant called Constantly Adjusting. I will still be posting on that blog from time to time but I want to keep that blog more focused on organ donation awareness and transplant news. This blog is where I intend to chronicle my day to day life for the world, my friends, and myself.

I have realized over the past couple weeks that it is time I turn the page and begin a new chapter of my life. The past chapters have set the stage for the rest of the story. I will never forget my transplant and the road that has made me the man that I am today. By no means do I wish or expect for my road to be easier, but frankly I am tired of living while looking behind me. For too long, I have let my circumstances beyond my control and my past define who I am. This blog is symbolic in saying that today is the day that I am setting my eyes forward to the great things to come in my life.

God has a plan for me and it is time I take hold of that plan and start walking forward. Today is the first step of that journey! My eyes are forward!
