back to school.

camille – 1 aug 2016

After an action-packed summer, the girls started back-to-school yesterday. For the first time ever, the girls are in the same school and Chloe has teachers that had Camille as a student. I think in some ways, the girls are happy to get back to their routines, friends, and studies.

As for me, I’m hoping the new school year will be a fresh start for me. I’ve been working hard over the past years to get organized. Downsizing, sorting, filing. Physical belongings, time, and digital presence. Last year, when school started, I had two months of getting back to organized. This year? I was organized on the first day.

My fresh start. I’m focused and productive at work. I’m exercising every day (ok, only been two days so far, but that’s the plan). I will continue with my creative projects of blogging, photography, knitting, cooking, and learning guitar.

And along with these things that I need to do to take care of myself, I need to make sure that I spend time with Camille. It has truly hit me that she’s about to leave for college, and I don’t want the year to fly by without us making many happy memories …

Here’s to a wonderful year. For the girls, of course, but also for me.
