Hello Seniors! Oh wait, you're not seniors anymore. Does that still seem weird to some of you? All of you? I thought it was my turn to write but I honestly have no idea how often any of you check this thing. Just wanted to say hi. We had our first Women's Group (now called Women's Spirit...I'm having a little trouble with the name change and am pretty much constantly having to correct myself) last week and our second tonight. Last week we had a great turnout but this week it was a much smaller group but it still went well.
I do have to say that last week when we gathered, I thought of every single one of you and your smiling faces...and meant to blog then but got busy and didn't so am doing so now instead of going to bed. Isn't that always the best time to blog? When one should be doing something else other than blogging? Tonight I talked about nostalgia with the students who were there. We tried to define it and realized we all had our own definition. Then they each talked about different things that made them nostalgic and some of them even said they really didn't get nostalgic for things (am I allowed to say I had a hard time believing that one?).
Me...I thought a thought and shared a little. Nostalgia is a crazy thing as I'm pretty sure you are all well aware of by now as the school year has come and gone and most of you aren't in school for the first time in a long time (yes, yes, I know some of you are at schools because you're teaching so I suppose that helps and grad school helps too). Okay, back to nostalgia...what I didn't share tonight with the students is that Women's Group (ahem, I mean Women's Spirit) makes me nostalgic and leads me to think of you. That's why I'm posting. To let you know I'm thinking of you and sending you all good thoughts wherever you are in the world and in whatever you are doing. You all are such good women and I hope you know how much you touched my life last year and how confident I am that you will continue to touch so many lives in such good ways in all that you do!

wow! women's spirit...well still a good name...and i ma feeling nostaligia too...as it slowly begins to turn to fall...well it just seems like a chapter has ended..summer it was easy to forget...follow the same old pattern...I do miss all of you ladies...and marist...and Katie...I will send you an email update soon...I hope things are well!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is so weird not being a senior or at Marist anymore. I keep expecting to be going back though I know that it's not going to happen (unless to visit)...very strange. I am enjoying myself up here in New Hampshire though it is definitely not the same as Marist (the leaves changed too quickly here and there is no Hudson River). Nothing exciting to post, as I do not have a job yet, but I will blog soon. I haven't had a chance to think (or even write for that matter) because I have been looking for a job and living with two crazy little girls.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with Womens Spirit (yes, that seems like it will take some getting used to) and I definitely miss all of you and hope that all of your lives are wonderful.
