holidays are in order

Weeks ago and even hours ago I was going way beyond the call of the work that I do. Meanwhile my bank account still does not register any proof of all of the efforts. I know that in the next few days I shall have the tense situation resolved, but for now I am still in a holding pattern. I am desperate for a few days of vacation. A stay-cation. But I also want to travel in 2024 a few times. I am finding that I am checking in with myself and listening to the things that I want to accomplish now. This year I have realised that every oportunity I got, I took. It left me exhausted, but it was presented to me and I did not hesitate.I appreciate the opportunity to get projects coming at me one behind the other.My only wish is that all of them paid well. If they all did, I would be as the British say, chuffed! It would mean that any and all efforts to teach would not be as stressful. I would feel alot better knowing that I can make firmer plans to do certain things that I need and want to do. So that is something that I shall make every effort to work on. Last night I had a moment during that space between waking and sleeping, to look at some of the books that I want to do.It was special, as I made my thoughts look at the cover, open the book and go through a few pages. I did this with about four or five books. I also recalled the words of a friend of mine who said once that the objective is to get the work done as soon as possible. Find a way!
