What do I DO?

Day 6, Monday: If you couldn't answer with your job, how would you answer the question, 'what do you do'?

Another tough one!  I think we all are almost "trained" to answer this question with our occupation, so it's hard to re-frame your way of thinking about what it is that you do.  I'm going to cheat for just a second though and tell you what my standard answer would be- I teach.  I suppose I'm lucky in the fact that my occupation and what I do in the confines of my job really does describe at least somewhat accurately who I am and what I do in my life.  But, I will try and expand my thinking here...

I rise...

{before the sun}

{to the sound of the kookaburras outside my window}

{to drive my hubby to work at this god awful hour}

I sweat...

{begrudgingly, but I try}

I support...

{students with special needs}

{my husband in this career opportunity}

{my friends and family from afar}

I read...

{blogs, emails, magazines, and the occasional book}

I talk...

{across time zones and international date lines}

I cook...

{healthy dinners while dreaming of baking sweet treats}

I enjoy...

{evenings with my husband}

{laughing together}

{our quiet simple life}

{the occasional glass of wine}

I miss...

{being near family and friends}

{2 day weekends}

{simple American conveniences}

I feel...

{fortunate}

{happy}

{loved}

{sometimes lonely}

I dream...

{for not enough hours}

{of our next travel adventure}
