Changing Times

Spent this Sunday working with my production crew on what will be their last podcast this school year. It was bittersweet - having a last hurrah with Ian and Kevin as we filmed a scene from the bell tower in the Upper School and then brought the footage back to the lab to download and edit. For these 2, it's the end of 2 years of creativity, of inspiration, of frustration and new discovery.

As I think of what Ian has achieved with his vision for this club, I look ahead and can't see anything with clarity. I want to be hopeful that the club will survive and continue on with similar energy, enthusiasm and creativity. We shall see.

So now I deal with endings. I really don't like this time of the year but experience tells me that in a few months, I'll be looking ahead to beginnings and that things will be okay again. I survived Geoff; I survived Paige. I'll survive Ian, too. And continue to wish them all only the very best as they move on to bigger, more exciting opportunities this world has to offer. I am so lucky to have known all three of these exceptional young people!
