Good morning, week. I've been waiting on you.
As I sit in my remarkably still classroom right now,
my singer-songwriter tunes remind me that
this is the place I've designed.
Zebra curtains flank the windows and paper lanterns hang
in an asymmetrical arrangement above my meeting table.
This is a spot I like to come to each day,
to be inspired, to be an inspiration.
We gather in this place to
eat,
think,
dream,
plan,
plot.
To consider ideas bigger than ourselves,
and to portion them into approachable bites.
Right now, before the sun is even up I see
today's light in my mind and all
the wonderful things that will happen here.
Good morning, week. I've been waiting on you.
Write on,

sounds like a spot that I'd like to spend a week!
