I had a bit of a tidy round today. With my birthday disappearing into the rear-view mirror, and with it still being too Wintry for cycling, I was on a bit of a downer. So rather than wallow in one of my bathtubs full of self-pity I decided to get active and do something worthwhile. Most of our stuff is in storage so I’ve been missing my books and board games. I do have a few things here, though, which I kind of just threw into a couple of boxes when we left the previous house before Christmas. So I took them on today as my chosen task for the morning, thinking it would be nice to get a few personal items out on display.
When I opened the first box, what was the first thing I found? Sitting on top of everything else as if it was just waiting there for the right moment for me to find it?
The information pack I asked for ages ago about how to become a teacher.
As you may remember, I had a read-through it and then decided it wasn’t for me, but there was obviously some reason that I hadn’t thrown it away, so I sat down with a cup of coffee and had another look through it today.
Very interesting.
There were aspects of it that scared me and put me off it completely, but there were also bits of it that really piqued my interest and made me want to consider it again. I seem to recall Philippa saying she’d be happy to support me if I wanted to go ahead and do the year of full-time training, so maybe I’ll test the waters with her and see if that’s still the way she’s thinking.
I’m really glad I found it now. It made me feel better knowing that there are still options open to me, and my future doesn’t have to be confined within the walls of a supermarket.
And, more importantly, it distracted me from the task of sorting the boxes…
