    You used this format well, and I enjoyed earning that it was in anticipation of your break, just at the end?

    I was also surprised to keep reading about hopes for rest, but also joy at sharing space with visiting family! They might seem contradictory. But it speaks of love, and I hope you can manage lots of both!

    Excellent use of this format! These lines resonated-

    “Silence teaches

    It’s not the loudest voice that is heard”

    Thank you for this reminder.

    Having a houseful of relatives may not be the most relaxing, but it may generate more stories, fun and joy!

About Me

I am an Elementary school teacher , I taught at an International IB School in Accra, Ghana. I am now teaching in Hanoi. Writing is my passion and I try to write daily, at least in my sentence a day journal, to capture all the blessings around me. I write with groups of writers, such as Teach Write and sometimes Ethical ELA. I also encourage my friends to write , so I created a platform to make that possible -Writing Run.
