The fog in Oregon can be debilitating. It frequently grounds planes at our local airport and has a palpable thickness that makes you want to curl up with a good book by the fireplace.
Winter term felt much like a thick blanket of fog. Sometimes, a term is just like that. I think it was a combination of my dad’s health crisis and growing sense that one way or another, I have to reduce the work load in my life.
It finally feels like it’s lifting.
I’m started to get excited about the upcoming term, which will be full of new challenges (my favorite kind!). It’s also likely to be my last term teaching full-time. So I’m determined to enjoy it.
I’m doing a little spring cleaning of my desk and closets, working out more and focusing on my family. I can see the sun breaking through!
What do you do when you’re feeling in a fog? Any great tips?

Exercising is always a great way to give myself a lift!
I also like to attack any projects that have been in the back of my mind for a while – cleaning out the closet if you will.
Actually, come to think about it, literally cleaning out closets is another great way to lift the fog!
