A Texas Writer

Here it is, the middle of the summer, and it’s flying by. Pretty soon, school will be starting back up, and I’m not sure that’s where I want to be at this point in my life. I went back to school to earn my bachelor’s degree and teach, and I did it for a year. However, it was the most draining and most haggard year of my life. But I’m going to give it one more year and not think about the time I’m missing doing what I love — spending time with family, traveling, interviewing people and writing. I’m hoping this year will be better because most of the teens are really eager to learn, and the staff and faculty are wonderful. I’ve got something to look forward to — I’m going to Taiwan to visit my eldest boy and spend 10 days with him. Should be a trip to remember for the rest of my life. Those opportunities do not come along very often, and I’m going to drink it up!
