I started work on 9 January this year.
I didn't really have much of a holiday, and it was further dampened by my sister and I being involved in a car accident just before Christmas weekend.
My first day of work was really great actually. I sat on the bus on my way to work that morning, and just watched people go about their business, and I was just grateful to be alive, and healthy, and able to work.
What pleased me more though, is that during these last two weeks, I've seen these random acts of kindness...
and that's what has been most inspirational and heart-warming. I've also been on the receiving end of some of these acts, and my only resolution this year is to pass them on.
We're into our third week. Things have picked up and today I will find myself in a classroom again for the first time since 2006. I'm a little nervous but also very excited.
