Welcoming Myself Back

I've decided to start recording some thoughts again, if merely because the skill of writing is an important part of literacy (I'm working in education and learning that things that apply to the way I teach kids apply equally (or should) to the ways in which I live, i.e. if I think my kids should be reading and writing for their minds' sakes, I should do the same for my mind's sake).

Also, I may yet have some thoughts or stories worth sharing, even if I'm not living as an expat adventurer. We'll see.

I started by posting an entry from Thanksgiving time (see Produce Story below), but there's more to come. I've been thinking a lot about the production and consumption of stuff and stories surrounding that are in no small supply when you live in the U.S. I'll save that for next time. Also, I've been working with kids, studying composting and Spanish, finally digging in some dirt, and I've just passed the quarter century mark, all of which are things from which musings may arise, desiring to be expressed. Until then, peace.
