For the last two years I've been getting more and more involved with digital technology, with my personal blog, my podcast and my classroom blog and other really cool programs like Voice Thread I have the students use that really engage them. But, that means that I am not doing the other things I like to do and so just this week I decided that I have to get some balance in my life and not let my passion for digital technology and teaching be the only thing I do. I'm looking out the kitchen window each day and waiting for the snow to melt so i can get back at gardening and get back into touch with nature- having a picture of a flower on my monitor just doesn't cut it any more. Todd,

Remember?</blockquote> ... and - remember, remember - there are others than your students that might rely on you, and who deserve some of your time... I sometimes worry about the long-term effects of spending so little time with friends, so much over the papers. Maybe one day I'll look up and there'll be nobody there? This was a refreshing reminder that a narrower focus doesn't necessarily lead to getting more done.

You’re more than your job. Remember?

Definitely have to agree with you that a person should always be more than their job. Can't wait for my break in a week to see if I can recharge my batteries as you have. Can't wait to read what you have in store for us :) Welcome back, Todd! Definitely have to agree with you that a person should always be more than their job.
