My last day at my school of eighteen years for fifty weeks. It doesn’t feel like the end of the school year let alone my time there. I might be a little numb; it’s a bit surreal. 

My family Christmas tomorrow, here, and I should be cleaning. I need to take a moment to process. 

I will be back. But life will have changed by the time I do return. My life will have changed. My gap year will have been an experience, and I will be clearer about what I want in the next few years as well as what is possible to achieve. 

At this time I hope my business will be moving forward, I will have completed a book, I will have better balance. And, I will be happier because I will have been living my best life. 

Fingers crossed.
