I put off going to the hair dresser so long that I once again found myself with
enough length to donate. I'm excited to contribute hair to organizations who
make wigs for children as well as inspire my students to consider doing the
same.
I'm also thinking how I am donating my time to other important work outside of teaching. I started clearing some of the invasive honeysuckle again, and hope to find some additional time this weekend. The before and after pictures would be more dramatic if I were closer to the area where the shrubs were removed.
Finally, my mind often wanders to all of the people who will be affected if SNAP benefits aren't renewed by tomorrow. I will definitely be giving extra to the food pantries this month. And maybe starting some seeds for winter window lettuce. And donating some of those extra knit hats I have laying around.
Sounds like I just made a to-do list for myself! Which is perfect, because I had this thought a few days ago: What if I turn this year around for the last 61 days? How do I optimize my habits so that I can be my best self? Suddenly my mental to-do list is longer yet, so off to bed to prepare for the heavy lifting tomorrow!
