Summer

I am a teacher, and one of the best times to be a teacher is, of
course, summer. I love being able to be outside, make my own schedule,
try and exercise more, and travel across the U.S. To visit family and
friends.

It seems like I get depressed at the beginning of summer and I am not
sure why. Maybe it is the lack of interaction with students and
colleagues. Maybe it is being on a schedule or routine for nine months
and then suddenly that routine changes. Maybe it is the lack of personal challenges or projects in my life this week.

I hope I can be glad and encouraged I have one of the best jobs in the
world. I should thank God I live in one of the most beautiful states
(especially in summer).

I hope I can enjoy this season of the year, and this season in my
life, and not miss out on the opportunities and challenges I will face
over the next two months. I know God loves me, and he hasn't forgotten me, sometimes seasons start off a little down I guess.

I need to keep my head up and take the positive things with me-my wife, my God, and my family.

With Love,

Kyle
