Freedom!

One of my very favorite feelings was the feeling I used to have when I finished final exams in college and headed home for Christmas or summer break. It was the feeling of having absolutely nothing hanging over my head.

I don't exactly have absolutely nothing hanging over my head, but our taxes are filed, I'm caught up on laundry, I handed back a huge stack of graded papers to my students in class tonight, and I won't be going back to work until Monday.

It's feeling pretty darn good!
