Keep going even though the path isn’t clear. Keep going even if you’re really tired. Keep going even if things aren’t making any sense. The key is to keep going. Until you’ve broken through.

Yes, I’m feeling under the weather. It got pretty bad yesterday. When I got back home, I was sweating profusely and my body demanded that I lay down and be unconscious. I complied. In the morning, I was nutty enough to go swimming. And for a couple of hours in the morning I felt better. […]

So the sore throat had blown up into a cold. I’m lying down. And getting ready to be counted out. I reflect on the day I had. It was a hot day. I had a long walk after work and thought about the morning, and the classes I taught. I also took the chance to […]

We don’t know what will happen tomorrow. We can plan as much as we please to the minute. We think we have it all figured out. But be prepared to throw it all out. It’s not our fault that our plans didn’t work out. The fact is life will throw whatever it pleases. It doesn’t […]

It was much more tiring today. I have my reasons for feeling what I’m feeling, but I press on. I tell myself it is worth the effort to go through what I’m facing. The low energy is seemly dangerous. But the distractions help. Going to the Institute. Teaching the students. Working on some test papers […]

Not enough water? A lot of stress? Is my life a mess? Well, I have my reasons why I have a headache today. It’s not the pounding or throbbing kind. It’s light and in the back of my head. And it’s not going to stop me from writing. With the students preparing for their exams […]
