Day 39

Rewrote my last essay following my teacher's comments. Wonderful process. Why can we not all have a teacher to refer to for guidance on each aspect of our life? I suppose if we're good parents, we might provide at least the feeling of that -- something to aim for, though I find I learn so much more from my children than I think I can possibly teach them. Wish they had never seen me angry, but then they wouldn't know how to recognize it, right, and have strategies for dealing with it. Today they mostly only saw me happy, and that makes me happy. Actually went out and had a cocktail with a girlfriend. Whoo Hoo!
